Out-STANDING! You'll enjoy the hell out of that little trade - that's exactly what I did (except my old one was a '99) just a couple months ago. Mine's even the same color.

Glad to hear, thinking of an exhaust system, anyone have a sound clip of one?

I just swapped muffler only on mine. Went to a magnaflow and eliminated the resonator and third cat. It sounds great no drone ay all and sounds sweet at WOT.

Exhaust shouldn't really have any impact with our trucks at all, unless you delete cats or throw headers on. The factory piece flows pretty well. The only reason most of us change anything after the cats is to adjust the sound to our personal preferences.
