Well, for the record, I am not talking about in cab noise/sound, overall.
Obviously you don't want the muffler under the cab...I think we can agree there.
However, when it comes to tail pipe noise. You can move the mufflers until you have them hanging off the end of the bumper, and depending on the muffler it will be loud outside, install an X pipe and poof, quieter. Added bonus, the in cab sound, quieter as well.
YOu can run headers with dual pipes and dual mufflers with an X pipe and get a super quiet acceleration and cruise tone....you can have it both ways....
