Recommendations Of 304 stainless-steel cat‑back exhaust systems

If you want peak performance and a bold sound: the TRX 3″→3½″ muffler‑delete kit — great for off-road or show use.
For a GM truck with balanced tone: the 3″ w/ muffler and dual/quad polished tips are a great middle ground for power and sound.
For a stealthier look with black tips: opt for the black‑tip variant—same performance, different style.
