Excellent, thanks! Yes, I am somewhat thrifty at the moment... but sometimes being too cheap can end up being more expensive in the long run. I need the entire exhaust, front to back. The side exit pipe seems like a good idea, although I do have some rust at the edges of the floor. My friend and I patched it, but only riveting some galvanized steel, so it's likely some exhaust fumes could enter the cab. I'll have to see about that, otherwise I'll have to make the exhaust exit in the stock location. Hadn't thought of that...
The truck needs to be ready for a road trip to BC in a couple of months, so some sort of new exhaust needs to be on there. Ideally something that will last, but if it needs to be something lesser that will need to be replaced in 2-3 years, that's what it will have to be. Unless the difference in price is minimal. That's a good point you made about the OEM pipes, they're already bent and won't need to be heated, which could cause rust to form in those places.
The Canadian Tire near me has that muffler (12-3027-2 made by Maremont, their part number 102808), but it's now $67.99 so it's a bit more now.
