Alright folks. So i've decided against stacks, and will be going with a large OEM style exhaust outlet, in the form of 4-5" in diameter. I would also like a new downpipe. But I'd like this to be done very cheaply if possible.

 

start a thread in the request a price qoute forum and all the vendors here will shoot ya a Pm and price

 

I already got a few pm's

 

3" down pipe is the biggest your going to fit without major fire wall work... from there its up to you what you run, anything bigger then a 4" is for looks and maybe sound, no performance gain.

 

Ya I'm pretty sure i'm gonna stick with a 3" dp.. that should be plenty. I'm seeing a TON of systems being offered utilizing the 3" dp anyways. I'm pretty sure anything over a factory exhaust system straightpiped is for sound only, . But I'm still debating what size I wanna go with.

I have a feeling that I'm going to pick up a a TON in the mpg/power department, having the factory 240k mile cat/muffler on my truck...

 

ah just go with a good stack keep your old dp around for "testing"

 

No way man.. I think the noise will be unbearable for me.
But testing.. with my pipe?? Elaborate...

 

oh i meant hood stack which i dont think we can run around here.
As for your other pipe i think we can probably bend it out a little then as far as the testing maybe a custom dp. weld up the fitting with maybe a 4" or snake it around for a hood stack i'm almost positive i could squeeze a 4" in mine without moving the firewall so yours might. it could be tested at least

 

Probably not a "TON"...

Get yourself a 3" to 4" system... Can usually be had for somewhere around 300 bucks shipped with a tip.

 

Just my 2 cents, and I know you are lookin to keep things cheap but I think you can't go wrong with a Banks turbo-back set-up. They come with stainless pipes and the Monster muffler. The sound is low to moderate but the motor breathes a lot better with a mild increase in mpgs.
