Just following up.  I installed the K&N cold air intake the other night, and so far I am very happy with it.  I have not been on any trips to check mileage on the highway but around town, it feels noticeably more powerful (in my opinion) and it makes great sounds when you tap the throttle and also when you put the pedal to the mat.  I am interested and hopeful to see if there is any increase in fuel efficiency.  Easy quick install, that has made my truck even cooler!  :thumbsup:

Over the Easter break I bought a Flowmaster 50 Series muffler and had it installed on my truck with a nice 3.5 inch chrome tip.  After firing it up in the muffler shop to back it off the lift, I knew I had made a good choice.  Exhaust has a nice aggressive sound at start up, and sounds pretty damn cool when revving it up. 

Went with the 50 series, because I have a wife and two small children so I tried to keep it modest.  After a four hour drive home from my parents farm everyone's ears were still doing just fine, so it has also passed the "little to no drone" test.

This is a good muffler for old guys like me, but might be a bit quiet if you are looking for something that really growls.

Thanks for the feedback y'all.  Definitely money well spent.
