Exhaust
first off, quick backdrop... The previous owner only used the truck to move the pontoon boat from their house (across the street from the lake) to the lake. so the rear end would get wet, sit, get wet, sit, and so on. a lot of stuff in the rear has rust from the water, including the stock exhaust system. thus, i have a few questions....
advantages/disadvantages to straight tubing it?
if i chose to go with an aftermarket system, would Thrush be a good choice?

Advantages:
Relatively cheap
You can hear the turbo singing away at the top of its lungs
Low back pressure
Disadvantages:
Noisy when you get on it
Low Back pressure
I swear it doesn't make any sense but I have had about 4 different exhaust configurations on my truck since I bought it and it runs the best with the 3" DP, no CAT, and the balance of the stock exhaust. I felt a seat of the pants increase in power when I put the stock pipe and muffler back on. It doesn't make a lick of sense, but I swear it is the case.
Here is a thread with some videos of a bunch of different options for you to check out.
