Default Better Exhaust? Better gearing?

I'm running a Borla pro X series 1 in 2 outs and it's too quiet, I've heard other trucks with the same cam and they sound much better on idle. What exhaust system are you guys using that helps Performance wise and helps give it a deep grunt. Also I'm planning to get some 29 inch tall wheels and I have a 4.56 gearing, should I keep it or drop it down?

Swapping mufflers is cheaper then swapping gears, I run 4:56 gears my self, and 29-30" tall tires and it is quite wound up on the freeway, I have considered swapping the gears to something more rpm friendly. I don't mind the gears in the truck, but I would personally rather spend the money on engine performance then re-gear the truck. I run a true dual 3" system with turndowns before the axle. how tall are your are tires currently? What are future mods/goals?

I have 31 inch tires right now. I'm planning to turbo this truck later and te goal is 500-600 rhwp. I wanted to get some 4.11s or a 3.73.
