Weclome to the site.

The 4inch turbo back exhaust will help with your egt's while your towing and all around keep the egt's lower then a stock exhaust will. I don't think you need the propane, may want to upgrade to a custom tune chip before you put money down on a propane kit.

Most intakes, and exhausts will give you more turbo noise. I am sure a vendor on here may know of an exhuast and intake that will keep your truck quiter then most 4 inch exhausts and intakes.

Most owners with these trucks like the sound of the turbo though.

If you go with propane be very careful with it. It fried my buddies motor

Two things, don't use pane on your truck and sell your AFE and buy a Ford AIS to suppress the sound. It may not flow as much air but it will be an upgrade in filtration.
