THIS IS ROSCOE P COALTRAIN.. YOU GOT A COPY GENERALEE????
You're truck already has one of these on it from the factory to secure the down pipe to the turbo... IF...you can remove it without damaging it and are able to "re-apply" it with the new exhaust, then NO you don't need a new one.
IF.. you damage the factory one beyond repair while trying to remove the factory exhaust then .. YES.. you will need to purchase a NEW one!
Now.. regarding if you can "save" the factory one depends on how old your truck is, mileage, your patience with it while removing it, and various other factors will come into play here. This part # was put here for your convenience of going to the dealer and having a part # in hand to tell them what you want. If they look it up for you themselves you will probably end up with the wrong item. I'm sure many on this site have had this dealer scenario happen to them. TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT - DON"T LET THEM TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED. Hope this clears up your concerns...

Thanks
Thanks for the info guys! Im installing the kwik filter on it tonight for now. I have noticed some really good deals on exhaust through ebay lately, anyone gone that route? Ive had good luck with ebay before. What is a good place/ setup to get my gauges through? I have a standard so I dont need tranny temp. spot. Would like the pillar setup but think i only need two spots right?
