So of late ive been thinking about replacing my bog standard, slightly rusty, exhaust with a stainless performance one. But I have no idea what's good, what's junk, or how much i'd need to get something that's worth fitting, wile on a budget. Any recomendations would be much appriciated!

@alex200 can make u one up decent stainless

I used these guys £250.00 for ST/ST side exit https://www.powerflowexhausts.co.uk/dealer-locator/

I went to my local 'saveontyres' exhaust place and got them to make a stainless side exit
2 hours later and it cost about 70 quid and sounded lovely
all I had on mine was a decat and side exit , no silencer at all

A 2" body lift or bigger is needed but that's a 3" turbo back with a dummy cat and exits under the drivers door

They have a place not terribly far from me. Was that made specifically for you r truck? 250 isn't too bad. It's that with a cat and silencer? Though I'd be tempted to make it Loud Lol

You arn't going get good performance from a Classic
They are only 113 bhp standard, even with the Animal box fitted you are only looking at an extra 25 bhp.

I had a snorkel, K&N filter,decat and side exit on mine
it went slightly better than standard, sounded a lot fruitier

I did (for about a week) have a K&N Apollo fitted to mine but the noise drove me mad (sounded like a tractor) so switched back to the standard airbox

I always refrained from fitting a chip on mine as I felt that introducing more power to an older engine was just asking for trouble
that, however, is purely my opinion and based on no fact what so ever

Its luck of the draw mate TBH, some fit a chip and have no issues, some have HGF, or knocking from the bottom end.
Others have no chip fitted and still have engine issues.
Some of it is down to how you drive it, try and keep it below 3K, its an old engine and they don't like high revs.
Keep her serviced regularly, buy good quality oil, i always used genuine filters.
Have you removed your EGR Cooler? that is a good thing to do on Classics.

Cooler unbolts then join the water pipes.
Or buy a complete new length from Halfords.
You may need to make a P clip to keep it off the Hot exhaust manifold.
