My wife has gotten used to a loud exhaust. I've changed out the exhaust on every vehicle I've ever owned. I'm in Iraq now, and I bought my truck a few months ago while here, so I haven't driven it yet, haven't even see it yet, just pictures. It has what looks like a Flowmaster SIDO. I ordered the Dynatech header system with the long tubes and high-flow cats, and I plan on making it 2.5" into a Y pipe with 3" out, probably to a Magnaflow SIDO (haven't decided which yet) and then dual side exit tips behind the rear tires. I also ordered an Airaid CAI and some other performance parts and a SCT X3 programmer all from Troyer. My wife doesn't know about that, but if she finds out, she is not going to be too happy about it, since its over $3k. When it all comes in the mail and I get back and start installing it, I know she will be asking, maybe I can play it off like it didn't cost that much.
I've never posted a link, so hopefully this works:

These are the pictures from the dealer I bought it from.

Thanks for the compliments. I bought the truck from a dealer in TX, and I flew my mom out to pick it up and drive it back to her house in GA. She said that the exhaust was loud to her at first because she's used to a compact car with factory exhaust, and it was scary being up so high in such a big vehicle. She said she was pretty scared driving it at first, but by the time she was almost home, she started to get used to it. I would have loved to see her driving that thing around Dallas and down the interstate, she's around 5'2". 
As soon as get I home, I will make some before videos and pictures and post 'em. And of course, after videos and pics when its done.
(P.S. This is the first time that I'm using a signature block. I know it's a little corny, I just threw it together, but I'll improve it over time)
