when I got mine it came with two different extensions one for each application.Look up Hottexhaust.com and get the number and call I think it is in Windsor,Ontario the guy I talked to really knew his stuff I think the model # is 16614....Good luck.When I returned to dealer for servicethey started it in the service garage and a bunch of the guys who work there came runnin over wanting to know "Damn....what kind of exhaust is that ,it sounds GREAT.Quite a compliment,makes all the money spent worth it when that many people notice.

Dang I did a search to see if I should get a banks or magnaflow exhaust and this wasn't helpful, all I concluded was that they were =.
I was gonna wait 2 months when the Magnaflow dual same side exit behind rear tire came out for the newer model F-150s, like the harley davidson. But I might just get the Banks Monster exhaust.
So, any newer opinions now?
ps: sorry I don't mean to high jack the thread, just found it pointless to start a new one. Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. Just the thread i was looking for, but as usual evryone likes what they have. I guess it is a coin flip. I read a post from a guy who put the Magnaflow 16612 on his 07 screw with the 6.5' bed and said that it fit fine.

PS.. i started a thread a while back called " Banks? " and someone made a sound clip for me..find the thread and listen to it. sounds pretty good but you can tell that the camera doesn't pick it up THAT great..

(if i was single and childless i would do it in a heartbeat).
i will probably do an AF1 and XCAL2 next so that may increase the exhaust tone enough for me to keep the stock cats on there. all in all i am happy with my choice of banks over magnflow.

I found the monster single for $517. the duel gibson I was looking at was $577 at the same site. The banks system seems pretty reasonably priced.

JFI, when I had my Maggie 16616 from where the mag pipe starts it was about 12" too long. So that might help you. If anyone else has has a too long of a pipe chime in. This might make it easier for DRS to make a choice on what to do.
Had to cut 7" off of the extension pipe to install mine. The Magnaflow is quiet when you're cruising but comes to life with very little input. Pretty much roars when WO. Some drone on long uphills towing..... but I would guess any aftermarket exhaust would do that. Pics. on my gallery....

I just put the banks single on my 06 4x4 last week. All I have to say is that this exhaust rocks
It has a nice deep tone, with no drone what so ever and the tip looks bad a**. It is a must if you are in the market for an exhaust.
