which exhaust?

hey guys, im not new to the forum but im new to rangers....last week i picked up a 2003 ranger extended cab 4 door with the 4.0 and 5 speed auto. its got the 4.10's in the rear and the guy before me put larger tires on it (he went up to 265's....245's are stock) now i want some more power, so im going to pick up an air intake and exhaust...but i dont know which exhaust to get. does anyone have an exhaust on theirs and do they like it?
thanks a lot

I run a gibson dual sport, nice rumble, not loud inside the cab. The most noticable increase in power will come from a bama chips programer, you wont pickup much with just a catback, without doing headers and a highflow cat, maybe acouple, but it sure sounds faster.

and whats this bama chips programmer that your talking about?

I'm also interested in this 'Bama Chips Programmer.' As far as exhaust, though, I've always run Flowmaster on my vehicle and been happy with them, but I like loud. I agree with Borror, though, that without a header-back system, you're not going to gain a whole lot of power.
Just out of curiosity, what intake are you going with?

No 6 will sound like an 8, but it sounds nice for a 6, but I have headers as well, did them at the same time.

I got a Flowmaster 40 series SI/DO, dumps straight to turndowns after the muffler. Sounds great...rumbling idle, loud on startup, very noticeable on acceleration, and then you let off the gas and it cuts out to just a nice rumble. I also like loud though...
