When I bought the truck the mufflers were pretty shot, so I installed a set of flow masters 40 series while I decided what I was going to do. It was so loud in the cab from the resonance that my wife and daughter did not want to ride in it. The Patriot glass pack side pipe has a fuller more mellow tone but still has a rich classic sound both inside and out of the cab. You can buy the kit from Patriot which includes the collectors that have three dummy pipes and only one that works, Hooker has a similar kit that is 4" pipe. I deleted those and built my own single 3.5 single 90* that tucks nicely under the front wheel well.
I got the 73" length but it really did not matter because I was getting rid of the collector in front of the side pipe so I could have made it any length.
