Silverado exhaust opinions

k5hart · 11-10-2011, 10:35 AM

I want to do something with the exhaust on my crew cab but can't decide what to do. I've looked at all the cat back systems but also considered just having it done by a shop. I don't want anything loud, just a nice rumble, minimal interior noise, and a nice look. A lot of the cat back systems seem crazy expensive but on the other hand I have no idea what a shop will charge.

What have ya'll done? Brands? Opinions on how much to replace? Do I replace the muffler and pipes to the back or go from the cats?

It's a 5.3 bone stock now. Might put an intake on or K/N filter in the stock box. Thought about an HHP tune. Not looking for a performance truck just want to squeeze out whatever I can without killing gas mileage.
