You're pretty much begging for attention with an exhaust that loud. Sound like you got some. It's the worst feeling in the world not knowing who messed with your stuff.

Have you filed a police report yet? If not do it ASAP! You need a record of the occurrence.

You probably woke some one up a few to many times and drove them to the breaking point. Course the person that did this to you had no balls and decided to take it out on your truck and not on you.
Your gonna need to either set up a camera or do something with the exhaust. And like what the others said, file a police report. See if you can time it so that the cop is parked in front of your house when a lot of your neighbors are home. Also make sure that while the cop is taking down the info to just casually point at a few houses that you think did it. Hopefully someone will be watching.

Man, that sucks what happened to your truck. I used to have a few vehicles with loud exhaust, never had the misfortune of being vandalised.
Then I got a neighbor with a Honda and a stove-pipe exhaust. He was always coming and going and it really disrupted my sleep a lot (I work shift work and even with ear plugs in, I could hear it idling outside my bedroom window.)
I can sympathise with those who might find your exhaust annoying, but I think they handled it completely wrong. I know it may cost you a bit of money, but I would find a way to quiet down the exhaust to more of a reasonable volume. You can still net some power gains with a quieter exhaust note.
Engineered systems are often quieter than something pieced together from various bits of equipment, and there is much less chance of having a loud frequency.
My old Del Sol had a pieced-together exhaust which had a very loud exhaust note at exactly 3500RPM. Not a good thing, as that is where the engine ran when doing freeway speed. It was very annoying even to me. I eventually got rid of the car, as I did not want to spend money to re-do the exhaust again.
And definately file the police report; if it happens again and the person responsible is caught, then you have further ammunition against them with another incident on record.
