That's the one I used. The difference between that one and the one on jason.w's truck is that this one is 3" shorter in the length. My local exhaust shop I got to do the rest of my exhaust didn't have any problems installing it. They did have to put a reducer on the rear as the pipe after it from the factory is 2.5". It was 3" going into the cat and 2.5" coming out. They just installed a reducer for me since I didn't want to run new pipes and my Flowmaster is a 2.5" inlet.

I think I paid $90 to have it put on then whatever it costs at Summit there. It was either $90 or $60 but I really think it was $90 I'm just not positive.

It's just 3" shorter. I think that's the only difference. The shop installing it might need to add a little bit of pipe or something but either should work fine as long as a exhaust shop is installing it.

As to if I noticed a difference the sound changed slightly it sounds a little louder and more I guess raspier now idk how to explain it not really raspy. Anyway power wise it might have helped a tiny bit but not much. I don't know if I think it's worth the money unless your cat you have now is bad. Out of all the bolt ons I've done on 2 cars I can't say I've ever seen anything make much of a difference in power. I'm starting to think they just don't do much at all.

When a gentleman here (RM Indy) timed it, it increased his 1/4 mile time by .35 seconds over the stock cat. So definitely a marked increase. I had my exhaust (Super 44) and high flow done at the same time, so I can't personally compare them individually, performance wise. Together, they obviously made a big difference.

Before, I didn't know what part # I needed, so I just had my local Meineke shop put it on. $145. You can get it from Summit for just under $80, plus Summit's $10 handling charge, plus whatever shipping charge. So it was a decent price for a local shop, even if it was still a bit high. If I had known the part # ahead of time, I would have ordered it. I suggest you do as well, unless you can get one from your shop for $100 or less.
