would it be best to get new exhaust?

[coolio2281]

iam trying to fix up all the little things that need replaced on my truck before i take off on my long journey to florida, ive got under my truck and looked at the exhaust, its obvious i need it terribly from the cat-back but my question is, this is the origional exhaust from 180,000 miles ago, could the converters have clogged up and restricted some power on my truck? should i just go ahead and replace from the headers back?

any thoughts would be great, thanks!

ok i correct myself, from the from the factory manifolds back, but yes thanks i will check it out when i get it off, but i guess iam here for more opinions than answers, if u were in my position, trying to get everything running good, would u replace the 180,000 miles old converters or just replace the muffler?

if you are gonna replace, replace with a set of shorty headers, bassani ypipe with cat, 3" muffler and 3" maremont tailpipe.

i dont want anything loud, i want something quiet but when i get on it, i want it to scream

ok then use a dynomax turbo muffler or a thrush turbo muffler for the quiet sound
