Nice ! I'm running a magnaflow muffler, flowmasters are good too if you want a little more growl. Those r the two I have experience with but I've heard decent about Mbrp too but personally I'd look at a flow or magnaflow.

A 20 yr old car needs lotsa things. Spend the 500 on stuff to make the truck more reliable.

Look into things like throttle body cleaning new filters sea foam treatment in gas oil and vacuum. New plugs new wires oil change after seafoam. Replace or remove the catalytic converter. New distributor stuff like this
