Junk yard! There has to be a few already smashed up on which the tail pipes survived. Just make sure the bozos at the yard do not torch the hangers off the pipes. Could even get the muffler or go aftermarket there. Bumper, well that would be harder to find in a yard without damage.
I have a muffler I can sell you

Check this out i got a quote from one of the few dealers i e-mailed last night
**** that ill install it myself.
Thanks for your parts inquiry. The Laramie rear bumper with dual exhaust cut-outs has three parts to the package. The bumper itself is $599.00 plus tax, the bracket package is $93.75 plus tax, and the step is $57.60 plus tax. As for the exhaust system itself, the package for the dual exhaust is $1700.00 plus tax. The labour to install both parts will be from $500.00 to $700.00. The service department would need to take a look at the truck to get an exact figure but that is the low and high end. All parts are available on a pre-paid special order , would have to come out of the U.S.A. and may take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

Yeah no doubt haha. I could always do what my boss use to do when he was younger. go to the dealership at night and tak what he wants off a truck. Like a pair of tires with nice rims and leave it on blocks.
But with my luck i'll get caught nor am i a person who would do that.

You can put the factory dual pipes on without the cutout bumper. Granted, that's the look you're probably going for though. Saw it in the service manual the other night, the dual output exhaust can be added as a cosmetic accessory regardless of whether you have the cutout bumper. All the hangers are there. It's just a matter of adjusting the pipes differently to fit under the solid bumper.

Huh, $1700 for the muffler and pipes, I have a piece of gold sitting on my garage floor and did not even know it
I will sell my muffler for $500, sounds like a screaming deal
If you do not get used parts from a junk yard just get the bumper and put on yourself. Get a custom exhaust done at a shop for $300ish and pick out a nice set of tips.
