Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) New exhaust for 02 DRW

[dward]

I have my low mile (48k) 02 DRW 4X4 NV5600 home and I'm beginning to start to give her some attention.
It was an Iowa farm truck so has some rust on the underside but is actually in pretty good shape.
The exhaust is rusted and the tail pipe is missing from the muffler back. I figure it would be easier and better to replace it from the turbo back.
Any recommendations for a good after marker exhaust? I plan to keep everything stock.
First project is the rear pinion seal and adjust the parking brake.
The brake adjuster looks to be tightened all the way. Any pointers on adjusting the parking brake?

I have had a 4" MBRP on since truck was new. Been very happy with my decision!

Thanks for the info, I didn't realize Genos sold exhaust systems. Is the MBRP louder than the stock exhaust?
Petersonj, thanks for the detailed explanation. I wish service manuals were written that way.

MBRP here. Volume is all in how you set it up. Straight pipe can get loud. I am running the muffler that my MBRP system came with, straight through 4", and I like the sound. Not too loud but louder than stock.
