I adore my magnaflow cat-back, but I'm thinking I would have been
better off with some other exit point than stock since the 4" tip has
caused me problems in it's placement a few times versus the stock 3"?
2.5"? exit. backing over high curbs will make it scrape, and it
smacked my quarter panel at the BBQ, I'd assume while backing off the
waterfall.

I think I need leg pipe rock sliders ;-P

the bottom of my list of to-dos is to fix that problem, and what I'm
probably going to do is copy what someone on dodgedakotas.com did, and
run out through the rocker panel in the club cab on the passenger side.
  I'll probably need to find a more restrictive, smaller muffler,
especially with headers, in order to keep my low end when I do that
though, along with helping out the heat insulation on the bottom of the
cab.

I may end up rigging some protection for that quaterpanel though, in
case I smack it again before I get the exhaust moved....
