sddaytrader makes a good point. Relax, you have options.
This is America. If someone makes something themselves, by hand, special for each customer, you can bet, it's way too expensive and they're about to go out of business.
OEM Exhaust on these trucks isn't bad at all. No aftermarket is going to give you monumental increases. I got what I expected when I bought mine. If they can use some or all of the same parts to get the gains/improvements they claim on a Chevy, Dodge or even a Mazda, great for them. It tells me they're trying to run an efficient business and they should be around a while.
You should ask them if the system for your truck uses any of the same parts as what they use for other trucks. I'm sure they wouldn't hide it. If they do, and it bothers you, don't install it. It's your absolute right as a consumer. And I'm sure if you asked them straight out if they actually manufacture every part for it, they'd tell you that too.
Take a deep breath, exhale.
