High RPMS

So when im driving down the freeway and I have my car in overdrive (its a manual) and im coasting at about 65MPH my RPMS are around 3K and I feel like that's a little high considering that I only have an aftermarket exhaust. So im hoping that that's an ok thing, rather than something I have to replace within the transmission. so if somebody could help me shed some light on this subject.

If the clutch is slipping your RPM will jump instantly to a much higher reading. Then you know it's clutch time.
A manual transmission really can't "slip" internally---the gears are pretty much locked together when you are in gear.
