I've been saying this for a couple of years - though a little more subtly than you've expressed it.

Thanks for clearling it up and telling it like it is.

How about putting 2 high flow cats on? It probably make the truck run better.

Try two high flow cats and an X pipe and see if it sounds good to you.
If it's still to loud(I don't think it will be) then buy some small mufflers!

cherry bomb extreme mufflers at www.performancepeddler.com or dynomax bullet mufflers, probably the cheapest and smallest mufflers you can find and still be loud

even with mufflers its still going to be raspy as hell. Do yourself a favor and put some high flow cats on there. It will sound much better and still be loud, plus you gain some torque back
