Check out youtube for various videos of exhaust. That will give you an idea of what it will sound like.

285's may be tight with only two inches, but, should be doable.

never trust the older owner......when I bought mine the guy said he kept up on everything with it, it still had the original plugs, wires, cap and rotor on it, the radiator was leaking, and the trans went out less than 2 months later, transfer case chain was stretched and forks were bad, and the exhaust was messed up. Like the others said, do your maintenance lol

Update :
Well there was a oil leak into the intake manifold, and she was pulling hard to the right, thought it might have been tie rod, but it was the top and lower ball joint ,the thermostat was awful, ...but other than that all good
