    Single because it's a truck. Dual exhaust only looks good on a car.

    Single. Duals look corny on trucks/cars that should not have them.

    i say dual, i did something very similar on my truck but mine might start a little higher under the truck and have more of an angle. if i am correct i will take a pic tomorrow and post it

    i guess mine was real close to the previous pic. one downfall to the dual is if you hit one offroad and tweak it a little its more noticable as you can see in mine

    One thing to think about if you trailer often is a rear exit exhaust is going to be puffing hot noxious gas all over you while you try and hook up or unhook all the time. It's really annoying. In a dual like the new Dodges you can't even try to get away from it by going to the other side. The side exit exhaust is way better for that.

    I like the TRD exhaust, sounds and looks good, only real downside is the tip gets filthy in a hurry when you don't have mudflaps. Buffs right up again though.

    As far as aesthetics, I think duals are ok on any full size truck 10+ years old.

    Also, I don't think of "rice" when I see duals but more "redneck."

    As far as looks go I think the best bet will be the sport scoop hood with 6 zoomies coming straight up thru the top with tractor flappers on each.

    I have a similar setup and love it. I have the mbrp cool duals in the t-304 stainless. It's a great looking and sounding exhaust. If you offload a lot then I would suggest a turn down or dumped exhaust like the magma flow off road series. That way you don't smash up the tips.

    IMO dual exhausts on anything but a V8 truck is full on RICE!

    I also agree that turndowns are the best way to go with dual exhausts except for the new Dodge Rams with the bumper indentations.

    This causes your rear aluminum wheels to have a green tent and causes your rear brakes to have rust problems.
