On your 96 you have alot of options. You can get a whole Kit that
replaces everything from the catalytic converter back. Pipes and all..
they are expensive, but easy to install and look good. Just about every
company out there makes them for your application so you have a lot to
choose from. Or, you could keep the factory pipes and just get a Muffler
that replaces the factory one. That route is generally cheaper and the
performance diff between the whole kit and just the muffler aren't that
noticeable. It just depends on your budget, that's all.... =) I wouldn't go
any bigger than 2.5" on a 6er.. I made that mistake and I'm gonna' scrap
my 3" Flowmaster soon in favor of a Borla 2.5".. I lost a lot of lowend =(
hope this helps!

I have a 96 v6 4x4. I would like to do some exhaust mods. In my state
it is legal to remove the muffler. There are a fair number of
1,000-2,000 foot hills around here, so it's rare to open it up on flat
striaght highway. Most often times I am swapping between 4th and 5th
to do 60-70 up hills (2k-3k rpm), but I do a fair amount of country
roads at 30-40 swapping between 3rd and 4th (1.5k-2.5k rpm). What
should I do. Straight pipe cat back 2.5?

Sometime in the future I am going to replace the stock tires (P235s)
with 31x9.5x13s if that makes any difference.
