As far as the flange goes for your setup, I believe I read somewhere that Dynomax makes on that is compatible. Might check with them.
No problem and thanks for the Dynomax tip. Dynomax makes a 3" catback and sells the resonator separate. So I got one coming my way next week. Picked it up for $85 with a coupon at Advanced.

I actually seen that resonator when looking at some of their exhaust diagrams. Pretty good find! Be sure to post about it once you get it, what sort of exhaust setup are you currently running?

I am stock, just hit one week of ownership today. lol

Got the Intune programmer sitting here, waiting on K&N CAI and that resonator. I want to get the exhaust welded up and bolted on, including a bung for my AEM wideband and do some datalogs of the stock tune on E85, then load the Intune and make sure everything looks good.

Thanks to all for the input on this thread and for checking your trucks. Magnaflow was zero help when I would call their tech support line they just acted totally stumped. I returned my Magnaflow kit and just ordered a Banks Monster setup. They were extremely helpful.

Will report back once installed.

Is the Monster exhaust dumped also? Curious to how bad it drones. Kinda bored with my Magnaflow.

Nope it actually exits in the same location as stock. I prefer the dumped look really but I also like the way the Banks looks on trucks I've seen it on (in pics) if you did want to dump it though you could get the Muffler separately and just throw a turn down tip on it for probably less than $200 and I would say it would look and sound great.
