I think the problem you're gonna find is that most guys cut them out.

You can't get the entire system out (mostly intact) without removing the tranny crossmember and most folks just break out the sawzall.

They tighten the clamps down so much on the OEM exhaust that it pinched the metal together and you can't seperate the pipes, so cutting it or removing the tranny cross member becomes the only option.

You don't even want to know what an OEM one is gonna cost, ESPECIALY if you need the catalytic converter.

$$$$$$$$$

Are you just looking for a quieter exhaust or do you need the cat for emissions?

The truck has a diesel so there is no catalytic converter.....It also has a Bully Dog PMT programmer..which gives it plenty of power for a everyday user..and the main thing is I like the quiet of the stock exhaust....but buyin it from a dealer is to costly..so im looking for a place to get it at a reasonable price or maybe a quiet after market one

Actually, that's not 100% true....

The Cali models had catalytic converters. All of them have converters now.

There were also 3 different exhaust variants that year.

If you just want a quieter exhaust, put a Diamond Eye on it. They are jsut slightly louder the stocker.
