The exit is under the cab, so it would be a bit much to listen to on the highway for any length of time. I think I may go to a two outlet muffler, dumping ahead of the rear axle.

I also found out I need to jump the distributor back a few teeth after all. There is a cam position sensor in the distributor that signals the fuel injectors. Right now, the injectors are puddling fuel at the intake valves. The valves open and draw in the fuel, so the truck runs, but under load, it will have no power. I'll get this fixed next week and it will run like a champ.
