From a 60 mph pull to 110 mph I could see 1100-1200* or so w/ the mods listed in my sig with the stock exhaust. Running the same mods in my sig but using the MBRP exhaust i'm at 950* or so.
There is virtually no drone in the cab at all. If you drive like you have a egg shell under your foot you will hardly know you have an exhaust, but if you stab the throttle it realy comes to life. The sound is by no means annoying. I bet you'll even get worse mileage because you will always have your foot in it listining to her sing.
And if your truck is equiped with a CAT or a muffler, you will be in awe by the weight of those two items.

WOW, so you're seriously saying a 04.5+ downpipe on your 03 gave you a 250' reduction in egt's
I'm running my stock 3.5" downpipe behind my Silverbullet turbo and dont have any egt issues but if it will lower my egt's 250' I just might have to do it. But if your wrong im gonna come looking for you.....
For orignal poster I dont think your problem is your exhaust, its your Smarty Beta 4.4 on a stock 03 turbo......

I have no doubt that the 4.4 is not helping but I figured if I could even lower my temp by 100* by replacing my restrictive exhaust, that would be a start until I can do the turbo. If I did the turbo first, I'll still have the stock 3.5inch exhaust which I'm sure would not help.

When I was stacking the Bully Dog Tripple Dog w/ the Dr.P box I could see 13-1400 easy, I even pegged my gauge on the dyno at 1500*.
But realy, like the guy above said your going to have to stuff alot more air(i.e. turbo) to get a huge drop in EGT's.
