I recommend the MBRP 4" Turbo back. Any brand you get, a 4" turbo back exhaust is your best bet.

Do you have it Trey? How much of a pain is it getting the 4" downpipe in there?

I went with the Walker RV muffler, saved a ton of money and sounds great and the truck likes the better flow...

Putting on a 4" downpipe isn't too hard with two people. I got mine on by myself in about 20 minutes with the use of some blocks of wood, tie wraps and some swear words.

Yeah it's really not bad at all. I'm only 16 and I put my entire MBRP 4" Turbo Back on it about 2 hours. Order mine from RiffRaff for around $350 IIRC.

is your exhaust all bolted on or did it need to be welded?

MBRP system is all bolt on. I used a saws-all to cut the stock exhaust out, then bolted the new one it.

MBRP or Magnaflow would be my two choices. Both have the best fitment of any of the other systems out there. 4" dp is nothing to get in there.

I do have it. It wasnt too hard getting the DP in there, but my truck was on a lift and there was one person underneath the truck and one up on top.
