Performancepeddler.com has some of the best prices on magnaflow cat back systems I've seen. I had it on my 03 and loved it.

I got my #16746 from hottexhaust.com. I google discount codes and got it for $445 shipped.

 

I've have it since November '08 and so far, so good. Love the sound.

Codes I found that worked and gave the most discount were:

Drops the price from $589.16 to $441.87 with free shipping. Now to talk the boss into this!

If you just want the sound you could just change the muffler, which is pretty inexpensive. Or you can get a cat-back for a little more performance, but it also has a bigger price tag.

 

I changed the muffler on mine, and I was also a poor college student when I did it, so I had no choice on the cat-back.

Im a poor college kid too, if i get just a muffler, will i need anything else to make it work with the stock oem pipe? will it fit right where the oem muffler was? Im gettting a muffler but dont know what to do yet. Any help would be appreciated!

You can get the muffler only, and take it to a shop to have them cut out your old and weld the new muffler to your existing pipe.

my muffler

 

here is the link to the exact muffler i ordered.. you might want to find a longer one to be a direct OEM replacement, but i wanted a shorter one since i have a side exit.. plus shorter is usually louder.

 

the stock muffler for my truck was 24" i believe.. a good exhaust shop will be able to make whatever you bring in there work.

Sorry to thread jack but I'm also in the same boat as the author of this post. If you have duals with that muffler did you Y out? I want to just pull the OEM muffler for now and replace with an aftermarket, just as he mentioned, keeping the single out factory pipe. Are they the same dia? I see the magnaflow is 3" in 3" out. I understand with a shorter muffler the lengths will have to be made up with new pipe. Just wondered if the stock was 2.5, 3, or what. For some reason I feel like my old 2000 had factory 2.5".

I think the easiest and cheapest option is for you to simply drive to a local exhaust shop that sells magnaflow

Have them install a muffler only, (which in my estimation is all that needed even if you had the money). The money you save can be used on a nice tip.

 

I did that with my truck, and have done that countless times before in other cars and trucks. For my truck I purchsed a 24 inch magnaflow. Any drone is barely audible, even with the radio and heater blower off, and under load. Sound is great. Total cost to me, installed, was $250...
