I got those mufflers put on tonight. Even still dumped they are vastly quieter than the bullet mufflers I had on. I’ve got before and after videos I’ll post in the morning.

Exhaust exit ideas

Thrush, to my ears sounds way better. Much more mellow at idle
It’s a lot more mellow. Gonna take it out in a bit and see how it sounds driving around.
Took it for a drive and it’s so quiet. Like factory quiet. It’s a joy to drive now even with the exhaust dumped.
I hope to get mine back this week. Hopefully, I enjoy similar results.
I’m also curious to see how my ORD custom leaf springs feel and fit. I pray to the Gods I ordered properly.

By far the best thing I’ve done on this truck is the ORD springs. I had factory springs that had been re-arched and some big ass blocks in the rear when I bought the truck. It was terrifying trying to rock crawl because nothing flexed or moved. Got the ORD’s with their custom bilstein’s and it rides smoother than my wife’s 2020 Silverado 1500. Doesn’t get upset over bumps or bounce. Soaks up speed bumps and irregularities. It does lean more in turns but I’m not running sway bars either. Greatest thing is when I’m crawling the suspension is actually moving and has dramatically increased not only my confidence but the trucks abilities as well. One thing I will say that’s a negative is they didn’t settle at all. I was hoping they’d drop an inch or so after some use but they are still at the exact ride height even after 3-4 crawling trips. I ordered 4” lift springs and they sat at the exact height of my 6” springs I pulled off. So either the 6” springs were sagged really bad or these don’t settle. Another member on here @84k5oleyeller experienced the same thing with his. But that is the only negative thing I’ve got to say about them. Everything else is a positive.
Well in some people's eyes that is not a negative
Good for them. For me it is.
What I mean is if I buy a 4" lift, I expect a 4" lift, and if it settled to 3" after a few trail runs I would be disappointed.
Now if you are saying you got a 4" and you got 5" of lift and expected it to settle to 4" and it didn't then I can understand your position
@TJ1978 @centexk5 i love my ord springs with Bilstein shock setup...I thought ride height was going to be a little bit shorter but then again not sure if old springs were saggy to compare too...I have 7” springs 1” zero rate and 3” body and clear 40s no problem and could prob go 41 or 42s...also like my flow master 44 series
I bought a 4” lift and it’s sitting at the same height as the previous 6” lift. There has been no settling on my springs. Disappointing? No. Unexpected? Yes.
Just as I thought.
That 6" lift probably had settled to 4" and you expected to drop 2" but you didn't.
It’s probable. But to the point, the measurements I took from center of hub to the fender haven’t changed at all even after a year of driving and wheeling so these springs don’t settle at all. Again, not disappointing, just not unexpected. I was hoping for a 2” but at this point I’d take half an inch. It’s all I need to fully clear my garage door haha.
The bottom of garage door. Problem solved. Or just air down and air back up each time you pull in/out of garage 
To me, if I order 4" of lift, from an expensive custom spring dealer. Then I want 4" of lift. Not 6". If I wanted 6", I'd have ordered 6" lol
Just the way I look at it.
When I ordered mine from a different place, I ordered 3" and it was 3".
6 years later they hadn't settled at all.
1/4-1/2 in at most if they did.

Pics of the final routing of exhaust you ended up with? Happy with it?
A couple stills from a video I took. essentially it comes out behind the rear tires and points out. It came good enough. I’m happy with it. I would have liked the ends cut so the fumes go towards the ground but it’s good enough for now.
no H pipe, just straight
