Bolt on Cat-Back suggestions?

Good day all.

I have a stock 93' F250 ext with 4:10s and pull a 26ft 5400 lbs. trailer. I get where i want to go, but like everyone i want to get more pulling power to haul the trailer.

I know about the cam upgrades and headers, but not interested in going there right now.

I was wondering if just putting on a high-flow cat and muff would add enough low-end umph to help. I don't mind spending a 1000, but don't want to go more than that right now.

Would I notice it?
Any suggestions on something that i can order up and install with my bro?

with a 1000 you can get headers and the exhaust and still have a good deal of money left over.

cat back won't give you much of a gain if you don't have Headers to increase flow out of engine... For $1000 I could get cam, headers, and exhaust!

For 351w:
Pacesetter Long Tubes (72C2221): $386 (amazon)
WALKER Part # 17312 : $267 (amazon)

total= $653

leaving $347 for new Y-pipe and cam kit...
