Exhaust options??

[RAR1TY]

So I m looking into exhaust for my 92 TY. RPM makes a 3" catback system with muffler and without. I'm looking for the best performance out of this, that's the important issue. Is there a muffler I should use with RPMs kit instead of theirs? I know this is a preference issue, but I don't want it to be too loud, unless it's performing. And what about a CAT? My truck has 109k on it and I'd like a High Flow CAT that will help the truck breathe. Any ideas? I will do a downpipe in spring, having trojble finding a good DP right now. I'm listening to any opinions on what the best option is for my trucks performance. $$$ is not a HUGE deal, but im not looking to spend a ridiculous amount. Thanks for your help guys!!

No. The muffler RPM provides, should you go that route, should be adequate performance-wise. Sound is the only issue. I'm sure you can find plenty of clips on here of people running RPM's catback, stock and modified, so you can get an idea of how it sounds.

You can't go wrong with an RPM catback. If you plan on changing the downpipe you'll probably go to a 3" (stock is 2.5") so I wouldn't get a cat until you do otherwise you will be changing it again. RPM sells a really nice 3" in/out cat that bolts up to their exhaust and a 3" DP.

I recently did my exhaust from the turbo back. I went with a stockish muffler but, a straight thru muffler similar to dynomax ultra flo might be best for performance. I used a 3" downpipe similar to the JSM one, one of these cats

a 3" Thrush turbo center/offset muffler and reused the existing 3" tailpipe. I had an exhaust shop fab the intermediate pipe between the cat and the muffler. Its super quiet even when Im on it, I only hear the turbo spooling. I dont think you can go wrong with RPMs kit. I just couldnt justify spending the extra money. Ive got less than $200 into my exhaust minus the downpipe.

You could make your own? I made mine ot of aluminum tubing to save some weight.. Exhaust weight is about 3.5 lbs. Next im adding a aluminum 2lb muffler to mellow it down a little.
