Full Exhaust System ???

I want to purchase a COMPLETE exhaust system, Turbo to Tailpipe, Stainless Steel, 4 inch or 5 inch (?), & I'd prefer to have it exit in front of the rear tire (haven't seen one yet). It's going on a 97, ext cab, 4X4, AOD, 8 ft bed truck. Current mods S&B intake,box & filter. Purchased a D-60 front axel to install when weather clears (if ever).

What are you running? Do you like it? Would you do/use it again? What would you do different if you did it again?

I know I could do the down pipe, cat & muffler delete pipes but for the $ I may as well go w/ a complete system. So... Complete system opinions only PLEASE, don't want to sound like a "Joke" but I know I want full system. THANKS to all who answer.

nobody will make a complete system that is designed to exit where your wanting it. you could make one of them work by taking out parts of the piece that goes over the rear axle, but it will still be fabwork.

call tymar thats where i got mine, I got a dually and exited mine in front of the rear tires, He has a setup that comes out befor the back tires thats suppose to be direct fit, mine had different exhaust mounts then stock so i had to do a bunch of welding work on brackets, but if u got a regular pickup it should be real easy,

If you decide that you don't like it exiting before the rear tire then I would go with an MBRP setup. That is what I started with and when I get another truck that will be one of the first things that I buy for it. It was extremely affordable, it was quite in the cab (kept within 3db), had a nice exhaust note to it when you got on it, and it was SS. I got mine from Performance Truck Products and they were the cheapest that I found, I paid $400 shipped to my door. This was 2 years ago so its a littl emore money now but its still under $450 IIRC.

IDK I'm technically challenged. My kids have to translate half the things in text messages. I once typed an e-mail w/ the caps lock on and got three replys asking why I was so mad & "yelling" since the e-mail was in all caps. LOL.
Anyhow, any one use Banks or Silverline? Thought MBRP doesn't have a SS downpipe?

Looks nice, a little redneck, but nice. I see its on a dump that explains alot. I have to exit out from under the truck for inspection purposes. I think I may go w/ the idea of a little fab work cutting the tailpipe from behind the axel & reattach in ft of axel. Still looking for ideas, input, & who's got what. Again Thanks to all who reply.
