Well you know the old saying... "If it's too loud your too old." I guess I'm just getting old. I finally opted for a muffler on the truck and got a awesome 3" in and out muffler for $80 bucks from Napa. I will admit over straight pipe its way quieter now. The muffler is a straight through design so there is no baffles per say to create added EGT's. When you look through the end of the muffler its a straight through pipe.

• Spray painted the main frame rail flat black.
• Spray painted the exhaust pipe with 2000*F paint also the color is flat black.

This was done to prevent major rusting issues from occurring. There was small bits of surface rust but nothing serious.
