I'm looking to replace the exhaust after the factory exhaust rotted off my '97 4.6 4x4. I've been looking at some dual exhaust systems on ebay. I like this SI/DO setup with a stainless magnaflow and stainless tips:

I have also been considering doing a custom job and buying an adapter to change from 2.5" to 3", then putting on a Magnaflow 11219 3" in 3" out stainless muffler and running that though a Magnaflow 15038 3" stainless tailpipe and out the passenger side. I think the big pipe should make a pretty good sound, but it's a pretty small muffler so I'm afraid it might be raspy. Anyone have any idea what it might sound like. Basically, I want a somewhat loud, low tone without sounding obnoxious. I don't want to spend more than $250 and I don't really care whether it's dual or single, etc. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That kit has crushed/crimped bent pipes so i'm instantly going to say no. Buy the muffler and have your shop bend it mandrel, or smooth, and out of stainless if available/affordable.

 

Any idea why my post was moved to "Suspension"?

 

I just noticed this. Maybe one of our moderators mis-guided it and put it in Aftermarket Suspension instead of Aftermarket Exhaust/Intake. For future eference you may want to ask your aftermarket part questinos in aftermarket sections
