Just bought an '01 Tahoe with 42,000 miles on it. What's 1st? I'm thinking exhaust. Any suggestions? BTW gonna be the wife's ride so it cannot be too loud. not looking for 14 sec 1/4's......yet. LOL Looking for better MPG and a little better performance, something really reliable.

I would lok at magnaflow or corsa or B&B. jsut depends on what kind of $$ you want to spend. all three will sound good. the magnaflow is the cheapest though.

Aside than the stock muffler that would be my last chioice. Many people like Magnaflow here becuase it flows very well and it's relatively inexpensive.
