Here's a link.
I've used these a couple times, and they worked well. Can't beat 'em for the money and you get to pick your own mufflers.

I've used kits by both Hooker and Dynomax. I liked the Hookers better, the bends in the tubing were smoother. The header kits seem to fit the best. I have used the manifold kits and had some problems with the fit to the stock manifolds used with the dipstick on the passenger side. The fit was better on the manifolds used with the dipstick on the passenger side. The difference seemed to be in the angle and length of the manifold exits.
The kits use an extension pipe after the muffler that you have to cut to fit a shortbed truck. Fit the pipes and don't rely on the instructions for how much to cut. My experience has been the instructions have you cut the pipes too short. |

I bought a Dynomax kit and mufflers from Jegs. It is a universal kit but it has all the bends you should need. Mine worked with no problem.

The Hooker kit does fit great.
If you have headers......you might have a little problem getting the driver's side pipe past the trans. crossmember (as with all kits) |

Summit did sell a Hooker dual exahust kit for either manifolds or headers. I haven't looked recently, I assume they still do, should run in the neighborhood of $100.
