If you decide to do that, let me know, I can give you a few hints that might help you out on the install.
What wheelbase do you have?

I don't know if it will work. I have the same truck and tried to do the same thing and I didn't have enough pipe left. I was about 4 inches short (story of my life
) I figured it would work but it didn't. Well I did get the MBPR instead of the Hogg, so the muffler might be shorter and allow you to do it. But with the MBPR you can't or at least I couldn't.

The biggest pain in the butt for me was putting joining the two unflared pipes at the clamp; since the clamp was designed to go around a bare pipe end and a flare. I ended up wrapping one end of the pipe with some old exhaust gasket, installing the clamp, and then 2 screws on each side to make sure it didnt come off. (This was at the point where the muffler was designed to be placed, since it is flared at both ends).
