    I will go with a Borla Stainless catback system when the time comes for me. My part #14945 may be different than your's because my truck is an extended cab.

    You don't need cat back. Just get the muffler of the brand you like sound wise and replace he muffler

    Kdog24 may very well need a "cat back" system; we just don't know (unless you know his truck personally?).

    The term "Cat back" simply means this, as quoted from Borla's website:

    "The Borla "Cat Back™" name implies the exhaust system is located behind the factory catalytic converter where there factory emissions remain untouched and vehicle stays emissions compliant. This remains distinct from the Axle Back exhaust system that is located behind the rear axle. Alex Borla coined the phrase 'Cat Back' and introduced the Cat Back performance exhaust in 1978, a bolt-on replacement performance exhaust system requiring no welding, thus being secured using the factory hanger locations."

    No unless you get some slip on clamps. But you can take it to exhaust shop and get it welded on. For just a muffler will be cheap as hell

    Ya know, depending on how old the catalytic converter is and you're planning on getting new exhaust save up a little more and replace the cat. I had good luck With a high flow cat and flowmaster 50 series. Mandrel Bent piping. Same size as stock on the pipe. Sounds really good and isn't loud going down the interstate. Sounds pretty good when you get on it to

    I have also been looking for a new muffler back system for my 3.4 DC. I have a few rust holes that have popped up in mine.
