Exhaust ideas? 250 I6

[jfw432]

I realize the 6 cylinders won't sound like a big V8. However, the exhaust on my 79 C10 looks like a total hack job and the pipes have been crushed from being lowered previously so it needs to replaced.

I'd like it to sound a little more meaty or at least like an older truck. All i really hear now is transmission whine. I was thinking of a Flowmaster 50 or a thrush muffler.

The main question is will a high flow cat help with sound? If not, would deleting the cat help (no emissions here and I rarely drive the truck)? One last question if deleting the cat, would it help to cut the stock headers before the flange and run duals with a H or X crossover?
