I searched, no. I scoured the internet for not only the type or manufacturer, but the best price for my exhaust system. For the money, I couldn't find anything out there better than going with Magnaflow and using Hottexhaust. even beat e-bay on price by a considerable margin, and was here in 2 days flat!
For my install, I eliminated all the included clamps and installed band clamps instead. It made for a cleaner install without crimping each section.
No matter what A/M system you choose it will be much better than stock.

To answer your question regarding a 4" downpipe, There is no modifications whatsoever needed to get it installed or issues of lack of air space for a permanent duty cycle once clamped onto the turbo. Maybe other year trucks, but not mine.

See post #5 in the below thread, the plastic lid is like a magic trick!

Is there a reason other than corrosion protection, that you chose to paint your exhaust? Is there some slight performance gain that can be realized because of improved heat transfer?

Thanks !

Thanks again

I have an 04 and was told the 05-07 kit would work on it but the 03-04 kit would not work on the 05+..

I got it part #17922 and put it on my 04 no issues (except I did have to do a little fanagaling to get my tailpipe level because of my goose neck hitch) sounds good not much louder than stock on the inside.

The 4 in down pipe is kind of a pain to get in but has plenty of room once it is in
