Default Looking for Exhaust but not sure what to get

I have a 2011 Ranger 4x2 Sport edition with the extended cab. I've been looking to swap out the stock exhaust but I'm not having an easy time finding something that is prefabed to fit this specific truck. Most of the things that I am finding are all "universal" and I don't trust that they will fit. I want to make sure I can find something that will fit the bracket/bushing mounts that are already there to make this process as east as possible. I do not want to replace the entire exhaust from the headers. I just want to replace the pipe from where it unbolts in the middle of the truck and back. I suppose this would be considered catback, in terms of this truck. I do not want the off road style where it's just the muffler and a down pipe that exits under the truck. I would like to find something that follows the same path as the current one, over the rear axle and exits passenger side. Hopefully someone on here has replaced their exhaust on a similar truck or can get me pointed in the right direction. Thankyou in advance!

Mbrp makes an exhaust system that takes the stock path.

Mbrp is a good option. Try to check some Youtube vids for the sound of this exhaust.

Check Magnaflow Ford Cat Back they have good systems, I think the off road series fits very well to yours.

Ended up going with this MBRP Exhaust. The nice guys over at autoanything.com let me order it for 20% off so it shipped out for around $330. Can't wait to install this thing!

I will have to check out the above because my stock exhaust is rusting out.... arg!

The above looks like a nice setup. One thing I like about whoever did mine was they have the pipe coming out the side near the rear of the truck. I'd prefer this or even up by my stepside bed actually...

you can also go with Gibson. I bought the extreme dual exhaust (pipes out the side behind the wheels, you can also get them straight out the back as well) and the headers. sounds good and looks good too.

I don't have a ranger, however I do have a 2000 ford explorer. In my opinion, they are kind of the same (motor wise). I recently bought a Flowmaster 40 series single 3" in and dual 2" out. I have been looking at this for a while and love the sound that it produces for my stock 4.o 0HV motor. Although I am making my own exhaust path going up and over the rear of mine. But I have seen a lot of videos on guys putting their own custom made exhaust (or just taking it to the exhaust shop) and using different mufflers and it turning out nice..... not sure if this helps, but here you go!!

That's the system that I put on my 2011 Sport 4x4.
Went to a buddy's shop and installation took about 1.5 hrs (and 2 beer).

Sounds great except that I can't sneak home anymore. THE WIFE hears me coming from a block away.
I took the truck on a road trip the day after installation. Fuel economy went up by 2 mpg, and one of the big hills that I usually have to downshift into 4th, I pulled in 5th gear.
