Yep, the SS cat-back systems are pricy. And even then they sometimes
need a bit of cutting to make fit. I went with an aluminized one
to save some bucks (and because I drag it over rocks anyway)

Measure the offset and the overall length and take that to a local
muffler shop. They can find a fit or they can fabricate a flange
to make it fit. I do some of my own work but then take it to a local
shop to weld up the pipe. I just don't like U clamps.

If your going OEM, give these folks a check for price.

and check NAPA, they might have a direct fit replacement.

I went with a Dynomax 'Superturbo' muffler on my 4.2. I believe the
shop used a reducer to fit the front opening. Meant one more muffler
clamp too.

It has a nice rumble.
