You really wont notice much of a power increase at all, but yes it will be tons louder than stock. Probly 50x the stock sound. And also it will lower egt's quite a bit

Most dont do it for the horsepower because it doesnt really do much.

But you cant really beat the sounds of stacks. Id go dual 6" for deeper sound though. It really brings out that deep rumble. If u dont mind the hole, go for it! MBRP makes the complete system pretty cheap stainless steel also. Ull like the sound. Its not that bad after u get used to it!

There are quite a few options for 97, stack kit will be a universal kit and diamond eye,aFe,MBRP and silverline all make downpipes for that yr.
If you need some help bro let me know, I can get you whatever you need.

yes you could also get turnout stacks and put under the truck facing the ground, will make it extremely loud also.
