The headers I have pretty much decided on, but I am having trouble picking between the gibson or the JBA exhaust. Any preferences between the two? Any experiences? Will this set up work well towing?
Thanks for any input?

pmw2tua,
I followed RockyMtnRay's advice on my truck (2000 Ltd 4x4) because I tow also. I put on the JBA Headers and had a Gibson Muffler welded into my stock exhaust and my truck runs beautifully. Got a nice torquey feel down at low RPM's where you can feel it. I towed my small trailer with quads and motorcycles on it and you can tell the difference in towing power. I can't wait until later this year to tow my big trailer to see what that is like.
Also on the noise thing. I work with a guy that put the Magnaflow's on his truck. It was annoying riding around. Too much sound. When I put the Gibson on my truck it is in between stock and a Magnaflow and does get quieter the faster you go. Around town it rumbles really nicely at idle and low rpm.
