It's Line-X Spray-on bedliner. I used to own a franchise and the whole inside is done as well as bumpers and firewall.

Muffler and header from Tangerine Racing. I'm not very pleased with the fit and sound. Half of the muffler(left side) is just stuffed with stainless steel wool so most of the sound comes out the right side. For the size of the muffler canister, it is WAY too loud.
