Straight pipe(or as straight as possible). Rip off the muffler and if you have 2 cats cut off the rear most one.

4 or 6 cylinder? If its a 4, leave the cat on. I removed one off a '94 this past weekend and it was probably the worst sounding exhaust I have ever heard, with a 18" glasspack in the stock muffler location.

MemOrex has a good idea. Thats what the truck had before the cat was removed, and it didnt sound bad at all.

Who took off the cat? The cherry bomb from autozone is extremely restrictive, I'd go with an ultra flow bullet by Dynomax.. a few dollars more expensive but it'll give your v6 a V8 sound, and be loud.

I ran Dynomax race bullets for a few weeks. You want loud and unrestrictive they'll do the trick. Of course your neighbors will be calling the cops and leaving you death threats.

They're very loud, I have a bad enough time with cops with my flow40, I had a bullet on for a while, but sold it to my cousin because he needed one and i wanted a new flavor of sound.. now I wish I didn't.

loud exhaust is weaksauce. If you want something loud, do it right with a 2.5 or 3 inch system with a nice sounding high flow muffler. Just hacking of the muffler and putting straight pipes on sounds like crap to me.
