While I have the cab off of my frame and have easy access, I thought it 
would be a good time to install the exhaust, but two questions have come 
up.  First, what do you guys think about an H-pipe (or balance pipe)?  I 
have a 350 engine with headers, and I am going to run dual exhaust.  In 
searching the internet, H-pipes seem really common on Mustangs, but 
otherwise I haven't found much other than manufacturers and retailers 
advising that you really should have an H-pipe with a dual exhaust.  
I've found universal H-pipe kits from Summit and Jegs for $32, but is it 
worth it?

Secondly, what about the mufflers?  I'd like my truck to sound cool, but 
not annoyingly loud inside.  I think I like the sound of the Flowmaster 
50 series, but are they really $80 better than the (Dynomax) Thrush 
Turbo mufflers I can get from the local auto parts store for $20?  Any 
recommendations or comments on whether I should get two Thrush Turbos 
for $40 or two Flowmasters for $200?

Thanks,
Mark
