Ive seen some other threads in the past. Click on the search button up top and search.

What i can remember is 2.25'' pipe is good. You dont want anything bigger. A high flow cat and theres been several muffler discussed too.

And if you have 800 to spend, get some headers.

I have stock system except there is no big muffler, just a cherry bomb glass pack. It sounds alright but I want something louder. Maybe a flowmaster 40.

2.25 is perfect. no bigger, no smaller. I have a flowmaster 40. its got a nice little rumble to it. but im upgrading to a Doug Thorley cat back soon. 2.25 size of course.

I'm running a 2.5" high flow cat and 2.5" muffler, both magnaflow, turn down before the axle.

I have no complaints, it sounds great and people get out of the way for me if I rev the engine

Cost me $200 installed, $120 for the cat and muffler and then $80 to get it welded up at a local shop.

I bought a stock OEM cat-back from the dealer for $129. Sounds good, no issues, easy install:

For those of you that have done this, have you noticed any performance gains? How has it affected fuel economy? Just curious.

I have a 95 toyota pick-up with the 3.0 with a dual flowmaster 40 series open cat. and a 95 toyota 4-runner single exit with an open cat. the dual sounds sweet but the single exit is a lot louder and very abnoxious. I did not notice a huge gain with either system unitil i got rid of the y-pipe and installed headers on the pick-up. the dual exit sound a lot smoother with the headers than it did with the stock headers and y-pipe. I really like the flowmasters and is a geat buy and cheap to install. The flowmasters are not a bolt on exhaust but it you can have an exhaust shop put it on how ever you like it.
