Cheap Exhaust
Hey im new here and would like to do something with my exhaust. Since i am in college i dont have a lot of money to spare, but cant stand the stock sound of my 1997 mazda b4000. i was thinking of just replacing the stock muffler, but should i go flowmaster of magnaflow? and. . . would it be better sound wise to keep the old pipes or just dump it after the muffler?
Thanks
Thomas

I suggest keeping the stock system, all the way back, but replacing the muffler. The magnaflow is nice for what mr. cheddar said. It gives you a nice mellow muscular sound. But...is louder is what you want....go with a Flowmaster. I have a flowmaster super 40.....and LOVE IT! I believe you'll need a 2" in/out with side in/center out. It's all about personal wants. You want a better sounding exhaust, but not too loud...go with the magnaflow. You want a loud beefy good sounding system that'll be heard by all...go with a 40 series flowmaster. A mellower flowmaster is the 50 series. Both of no madderwhat you choose, enjoy the new sound. The magnaflows are cheaper too. (i think)
Good luck.
Good luck.

If you're on a budget, Dynomax is worth a look. I had a cat-back Dynomax on my old '97 4-banger and I liked it. Not too loud, and it didn't sound like a rice rocket, even with a 4-banger. And it freed up some power at the top end of the tach.
I'm looking at the current Jeg's catalog right now, but a '97 Ranger standard cab (same as your Mazda) is not listed. You can check their website and there will be more choices there. To give you an idea of what it would cost, the cat-back system for a '95 - '97 Ranger 125" wheelbase (extended cab) is $145.99. You will want to search with the criteria of a 108" wheelbase, being that you have a standard cab.
This price is for the alumanized steel, not their stainless systems. We have more than enough salt on the roads in Indiana, but in four years, I never had anything more than surface rust on the weld beads.
