Add to the above Q:
How loud is it?
Did you gain anything compared to full exhaust to the back?
Is it possible to turn down that open DP vertical from where it leave the turbo instead of to the fender?
Can a 4" bullet muffler fit there before it goes to the fender or vertical towards the ground?

Well I havent even started the truck yet, just finished it last night and still need to weld the o2 bung for the wideband in. So I cant comment on how loud it is or if the turbo behavior changed any. I dont suspect it will change much since 5" is probably overkill. I just uninstalled all the old pipes so its not like I cant just put them back on and get a new fender if I really feel like it.
Pointing it down will point it directly at the frame and UCA area. If I want to run it under the truck I may as well just put the old one back on.
I do find it funny how much money I have in the downpipe and full exhaust when doing the fender exit, including buying the hole saw, is less than $100.
The problem with the whole "sleeper/work truck thing" is it only works once. I went to the local track one night with the ladder then 2 weeks later I took the ladder off and went back and everyone recognized my truck still. Its not like I street race the thing so everyone already knows what it looks like and what it runs. So at this point I would rather just reach my goals. Loosing the sleeper look slightly is a good way to loose 150lbs or so if I take the ladder off in addition to the exhaust.
