Grrrr NO Magnoflow catback for longbeds

Finally started considering getting an exhaust and I like the sound of the Magnaflows. So dig around a bit and finally end up calling them directly. They don't offer catbacks for the longbeds and have no plans to. Guess I'll just have to cut out the OEM and have a universal maggie welded in. Now I gotta figure out which universal to go with.

I would think it would be the same, you would just need some extra pipe to get to the muffler. The extra length in our beds is in front of the rear wheels right?

Any competent exhaust shop can easily extend the pipes for you.

Unfortunately the shop out front on my patch of gravel is not a competent muffler guy I was hoping to get the catback and doing it myself, but my last catback system on my car turned into a nightmare trying to get the hangers just right, no fun with gravel poking me in the back.

Maybe someone can do me a big favor. The extension pipe between the y and the muffler measures 30" from the end of each clamp. Can someone measure theirs? I'm thinking everything should be the same after this extension, like thais0n said.

I don't want a hack job which usually depends on how much effort a shop is willing to put into it. With that said, am I really better off with trying to make a costly catback work or is just cutting in a new muffler a better way to go?
