don`t know about the ladder bars or the noise but do me a favour and don`t let it get away from you
The trailer coming unhooked could mess up another bomber

Muffler choice is up to you, they're probably all similar, a straight through design with a baffle.

It is not going to aid in any faster turbo spool up. If anything it'd be worse. The higher flowing the exhaust is, the quicker the turbo can be spooled. Heat is really what gets it spinning fast though. These 6.0's are just that way. The fastest I can get my turbo to spool under hard acceleration is with my street tune from Vivian @ Quicktrick automotive. The tune is just an awesome daily driver. Stock is probably the slowest spooling for me or at least it just feels that way. Extreme tunes are pretty quick if you roll into it. If you stab it forget about it.

Ok!! I have to do something about the noise that was my first idea. What are your thoughts on the edge chip??? I only use it in tow mode. I dont beat the crap outta the truck too bad. If I was to go to a different tune what do you think it should be.

My personal opinion is everything is sub par to the custom tuned SCT's. The tunes are written for your specific truck and is the only tuner that can access the TCM and truly tune the transmission.

I'd put the Edge on craigslist or ebay and buy a custom tuned SCT.
