Default 2.3l exhaust

I am thinking of changing out the stock exhaust for aftermarket. I have looked a little but can't really make a decision. I don't want the truck to sound like a rice burner, so what options do I have with out a major overhaul? Ik some people use magnaflow, just trying to get some ideas from you guys. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx

I have a 19" dynomax super turbo muffler. I like how it sounds on the 2.3 but it's definitely on the tame side

Ok thx for the advice. I would really like to have something that isn't too loud, but also has a great sound without being outrageous

I have the Dynomax 17317 cat back system and really like it. It will never sound like a V8 but it doesn't have that super buzzy 4-cyl sound either. On first start up it's just a little louder than stock but once it warms up it's kind of quiet like the stock system only a bit deeper. While cruising it's almost as quiet as the stock system until you get on it and then it gets a tad louder but not harsh or overbearing in any way.

I looked up your setup, and is wasn't real expensive on amazon, I might look into the dynomax systems a little more! Thx a lot guys😊
