<< Thanks for the replies on the v8 engine stuff...any other suggestions on
how I might get around the sound issue would be appreciated. I haven't
altered any exhaust systems before, so I'm not sure if I can throw a
universal muffler inline somehow... I called Midas just for kicks, and
they refused to give me any info since there is no cat on the system, I
believe...all I got was a lecture on $10,000 environmental fines for not
having the cat and how they wouldn't touch it and how it would be a lot
of money to go back to a quieter system and I might want to look around
for another truck. Pretty overboard, but I wasn't quite expecting that
strong of a response...

Throw in a high flow catalytic converter. You can get a Carsound cat for
$75 or so. That will quiet it down a bit without hurting performance too
much.
