cat-back worth the noise?

i really like having a quiet truck, but my stock exhaust is rotting away and slowly making the truck louder. my question is, will a performance exhaust from the cat back really be worth the extra noise? i dont see the stock exhaust being very restrictive (my truck only has one can after the two cats). if i do get an aftermarket exhaust, i was thinking a magnaflow straight pipe, and leaving the two stock cats. if not, i can go to my local exhaust guy and he will put equal-to-original equipment on it, and he can do it for a VERY reasonable price. any thoughts? the truck is a 92 f150 i6 pretty much all stock

With a stock I6, if you're not looking for more noise, I'd do stock style replacement on the cats and muffler.
