Welcome to the board from TN! Nice looking truck.

Re: New user, here!
 

Thanks!

Re: New user, here!
 

Also, what exhaust do yall think sound good with the 350? right now it has 20+ year old glasspacks on it, and its rather... loud, lol. I don't want it to be quiet but i also don't want it to be obnoxious.

Mangaflow or flow asters. Depends on what you like. Check out there website for sound files to give you a general idea of there sound. I prefer magnaflows myself.
