Default What exhaust for 89 D250?

Hey guys,
driving home the othernight I blew the exhaust pipe out between the cat and muffler on my right side exhaust pipe. Needless to say shes a bit loud now. The truck has 104k on it and I recently replaced one of the mufflers when it developed a hole in it.
My question, is there a company that makes a full exhaust for the truck or do I have to go to a shop and have a custom setup done? The whole thing is looking pretty bad and I would like to do the full thing once and be done.
Also, Im not overly familiar with the older Dodges like mine, I have a 318 and it has a true dual exhaust w/ no crossover pipe, both tailpipes exit on the passenger side. Is that the stock setup?

Thanks for any help

I would say install a set of headers, and run a custom system behind that. But that`s what I do to everything.

I got the Summit headers. Did any of you have to remove the starter to install yours? Can you still remove the oil filter without removing that little brace? Mine were a real adventure!

Hey guys, just as an update I ended up getting a $35 exhaust pipe piece and making that thing fit. It seems to have done the job, for now!
