Question 02' 5.4 Screw - no roush? Help..

Well, I really put my search-fu to the test before posting, but it seems my skills are weak. I've looked and can't seem to find a roush kit for my year truck. So I was wondering, what path I should go.
I live in Camp Verde/Cottonwood, Arizona.. and the only exhaust shop in my town(s) is extremely over priced, and offers only crush bent tubing. Going to phoenix isn't that big of a deal, but I don't know any good shops down there. So, unless someone knows a good shop to put on a nice custom job, what is the general choice for everyone when buying pre-fab'd systems? I would prefer dual rear, side exit that is relatively loud. I am doing the Gotts intake mod tomorrow and plan on getting it gryphon tune in a few months. Performance is a factor, but I understand that I do drive a truck so I don't expect to be smoking some of the tuners in my area. So, Loud and performance, with intake and tuned in mind. Throttle body and headers way down the line..... what yall suggest?


Thanks(for beating a dead horse).

Roush exhaust is only designed for 2004+ trucks only. Not the older generations.

If you want loud and some performance, an intake, custom tune, and Flowmaster exhaust will do that for you.

Mad Hatter Exhuast in Mesa just did my truck. I supplied the Muffler and Cats (www.performancepeddler.com) and payed them to do the install and for the tips (50 a piece). So all in all, $350 for tubing and the install. I dont know what method they used to bend pipe, and to be honest, its not that big of a deal to be.

Getting crush bent 2.5" is basically like having a stock exhaust with a new muffler, with each bend its going to be slightly under 2", so might aswell keep the stock exhaust. If you don't mind.. check under your truck and let me know what it is.. if it stays smooth the entirety of the system its mandrel.. if it isnt.. well..

That system should work for your truck, unless you have a custom exhaust already. Stock size is 2.5 inches. There is really no need for a 3 inch unless your packing some kind of power adders.
