I believe LMC trucks has kit as well, but is dual exhaust out the back, for a little less, might be worth checking out.

I have the dual extreme system and I Like it. Nice deep growl while accelerating and no drone at cruising speed.

I had the stainless steel swept side exhaust, and liked it alot. The stainless steel has a better sound than the carbon steel. A friend of mine and I compared the two side by side on our trucks to prove it.

I have a gibson *single* swept side exhaust that used to be on my truck. Its been sitting in storage for a while now. It has less than 10k miles on it and is in good condition. I have all the clamps and mounting hardware/parts that came with it when I bought it new. I took it off after I got a roll pan because it hung down too low and I wanted duals out the back. I'll let it got for $120+shipping. Let me know if you have any questions.

I like my Extreme Dual Exhaust part number 9704. I love the looks, I like the sound* (where applicable) and I also especially enjoy the lack of sound* (where applicable)
I couldnt imagine any other exhaust on my truck. It was REAL easy to put on. The only hard part was the final stages getting the tips where I wanted them and "Just So"

i, too, have the single swept side gibson cat-back. Damn good investment in my opinion. its not obtrusive at cruising speeds but it's got a very nice low end growl.
