Exhaust ??

Just wondering what kind of exhaust you guys would run on a truck like mine. I have a 92' F-250 w/ a 5.8 and a 5 speed. Reg. cab long bed 4x4. I currently running pretty much stock exhaust and was looking to get a louder sound out of it. On a somewhat limited budget...say a couple hundred or so, what could I do?

Cut off everything behnd the cat, hollow it out and cut the rear section off, then add an aftermarket 3" cat and 3" catback with your choice of muffler.

A large(1") boring drill bit will do it, drill several holes through the honeycomb and break it up.
