None that I know of off hand, but when I was looking I was concentrating on what would fit an extended cab. The best I could tell you is to search some sound clips for a muffler sound you like and get it done custom. I really don't think it should cost too much to have them bend a pipe(s) off the muffler to exit before the tire. It would actually be cheaper and a lot easier than bending custom duals out the rear.

I'm working on getting a Borla dual side exit exhaust (exits before the rear wheels) and maybe some headers one day and a new STOCK cat, mines TOO rusty and looks like it's rusted onto the pipe
Now you can by the dual exhuast kit made by Borla from StylinConcepts.com, but it's cheaper to have one made, which is what I'm going to do.

So all you have to do is buy, for instince, a Borla, or Roush, or Flowmaster canister and they will bend some pipes for it to come out in front of the tire? ..... Does a Reg. cab even have enough room for this to be done. The cat already exits pretty close to the rear tire. Can the cat be moved forward? Does anyone here have a reg. cab with a side exit before the rear tire?

Hey Ray...http://fomocoedge.com/temporary/BorlaExhaust.wmv
Theres the clip bud..
And Matt...
Depending on what engine you have... And how you would want to run it..
I have a 2.5" piping and 3.5" tips, mine doent pop.. Its loud enough,, but not too loud..
Biggest to run with duals, would be 2.25", or if your going to do single.. 2.5"
I dont know why i did 2.5" but most say its ok. so i just deal with it.

http://djayenos.com/MVI_5912.AVI . Its a movie clip.. at the end are a few good revs. It sounds the same in person.
I have a 3inch in to dual 2.25's out and gained 25lbft on a dyno. Its a Magnaflo. I lost 10lbft with a flowmaster.

Thats the muffler itself. I bent my own pipes. People look at the price ( 210$ ) and walk away from it. Its stainless and i live in a snow filled enviornment. After 20,000 miles on it and 2 winters, its STILL as chrome-looking as the day I put it on.
I'll dig up more clips but on some of them theres ' other' sounds being herd ( Radio, people.. vehical noise ).
I had a flowmaster 40 series.. theres only 2 things I can say 1.- the flowmaster lost power on me or 2.- the magnaflo has a hidden supercharger in it. The difference is night and day. Flowmasters sound all nice... but at what cost ( performance wise ) ?

. I think I could find it again.. maybe for a ' small ' meet, but not for a big one. Rayjay is planning a mod day for sometime in March at his place to do a ' project' . I will be hedding there to Scranton with a few toys to put on myself.. might be a goodtime.
The Reason I like the Magnaflo the most isn't due to sound. I tried a flowmaster, a regular glasspack, a thrust turbo muffler.. they all sounded good but lost Torque on the dyno.
I saw a guy bring in an 04 ranger xlt, 4.0 stick. He did an airbox mod, a pro-m Maf and the same exhaust I have ( I basically copied his ) and spun 210 with a good amount of tuning. Theres a BUNCH of people who have done even more then that to get 200. I told the Dyno owner ' Man.. can ya order me a muffler liek that? ' . 2 days later.. it was on.
As long as it doesn't sound like a fartcan, I'll take power and performance over sound anyday. You can have all the rumble you want, but when its downwind and a distance behind ya.. you don't hear it.

ya the power gain is what im after, she doesnt want a muffler thats obnoxious like a fartmaster. so we came to a happy medium =-D
ok i think i found one i think will work fine. its a 14" long (20 overall?) 4x9 oval with a SI/SO C/O 2.5".
now what size is the stock exhaust and is 2 1/2" fine for a "cat" back system?
