So it's not worth putting putting headers on I want to switch to a V8 but I can't seem to find a donor from where I live. I think my truck having a Scavenging problem
I’d honestly just wait on exhaust work until you do the V8 swap. When I get done with my V8 swap on my 97, I plan on doing long tubes, 2.5” pipes all the way back, Flowmaster OG 40s and dump it after the rear axle.
Nothing beats dual side pipes with haphazard "H" pipe. Not sure how it would sound on a 4.3 but on my 5.7 its a little raspy, but my taste isnt like everyone elses. Most of my exhaust mods was "take everything off with a grinder (or sawzall) and replace it with metal i find in my garage"
