Installed the bypass pipes and muffler... happy with the overall tone when accelerating but getting too old for the added noise when cruising with hardtop on/window up. So, I'm thinking I'm going to go your route and just do the bypass pipes with stock muffler. Oh well. Should've tried it your way first.

The Top Speed muffler (15 miles used) will be in the FS section soon.

One of the unexpected benefits of the bypass pipe is the the truck does not get as hot.

Oh man... it was kinda nice. Especially if I leave a jacket in there for evening trips.
