Not totally true.... It fits the extended cab stepsides just fine, but you have to use a crewcab crossmember. Not many guys know this, but it has been done.

Amateurs, It fits just fine in the stock cross member if you use conversion headers.

I saw those once, they were really expensive. I think the crossmember route is more "budget-friendly".

But those headers looked pretty skookum!

Lowes and home depot sell threaded pipe so you can make your own though. Or you can just run open heads if you want it loud.
