I have been GM since 1988. Couldn't agree more with the brake feel on the gas pick-ups and such MJ. My 1989 GMC Sierra had a very soft pedal. It got worked on. Luckily, the hydroboost brakes on the diesel trucks makes the brakes feel just right. When I switch from the diesel to the Tahoe it takes some adjusting.

Hydroboost is great. Until your power steering pump goes out. You have good brakes until you reach a certain point on the pedal. Then it goes to the floor and you have nothing. Its happened twice to me. Once on the road and the other time offroad. Dont ask about the result of the offroad brake failure....

Thats GM for you. If you cant steer around what you are about to hit you might as well not need brakes! Wait a minute, if you cant dodge it, RAM IT!?!?!? Dam we are driving dodge!

If you can afford it, go with Banks. If I had a Duramax that would be my choice. I have a HeartThrob on my 6.5 and it fit well, but I wonder how a different muffler would sound. If you are on a budget, just order the downpipe aka head pipe and worry about the rest later. Just let it dump out under the cab.

if this is a diesel go with diamond eye..... all over ebay, dirt cheap, top notch quality... I've had it on my powerstroke for 5 years and not a speck of rust on it
If this is a gas engine, 4" is silly. Personally, while I've had some really loud vehicles in the past I've come to fee that it is selfish to force the whole world to listen to my loud exhaust and I don't do it any more.... I even had a 4" from the turbo back straight pipe set up on the powerstroke for a while but I bought a $170 high flow but quiet muffler for it.
