Quite a bit actually...I live in a town full of "rednecks" that ride around listening to rap, and the best thing you can do is buy a chevy 1500 350, straight pipes all the way back (sometimes) 33" or taller super swampers, whip antenna that is for looks only, and if you have a CAI and throttle body your god...

Its a land of broke spider gears, broken axles, slipping transmissions, 9-13 MPG, and riding around town in 1st gear doing 45...basically, the trucks go to hell, runs stuff over, then come back again, and hook up and pull people...

Hey now I live on the border of Tenessee and Misissippi, EVERY single guy has a lifted truck with straights and yes CAI and a chip makes you THE BEST. It is sad- and here I am the only one with a fast clean nice car. Everybody either has a truck or a pos or a BMW their parents bought them

Force mufflers have been discontinued.

i reccomend either these. they are 2.5" offset inlet/outlet not like the picture shows. they are really loud though
http://www.jegs.com/i/Cherry+Bomb/545/7480/10002/-1

or these which are identical to the force proseries
http://www.jegs.com/i/Dynomax/289/17659/10002/-1

or these which are loud like the cherry bomb extreme single chamber. they look like a glasspack but are actually a chambered muffler.
http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/94050/10002/-1

as for LT's these are excellent quality. better than MAC's IMHO
http://www.jegs.com/i/Pace+Setter/766/72C3221/10002/-1 with EGR
or these with an EGR delete (requires a tuner to bypass the EGR signal)
http://www.jegs.com/i/Pace+Setter/766/72C3220/10002/-1

no need for an X or an H. they don't add any power on a 90 degree V6 and would require a custom setup. a divorced dual setup from the LT's with MIL eliminators will be fine with any of the mufflers i listed

that would be floating a valve where the motor spins to fast for the valve train.

i actually just ordered a cut out and pyrometer for my truck... but i have no use for a lift cause i cant plow with one. i havent broke anything yet (knock on wood) have a shift kit, and get 20+ mpg regularly with a 1 ton
