Ronjenx has the best design I've seen. Again, kudos 5000x to Ronjenx. I used his design but made one out of 2x6 (shaved down to 5") and a sheet of plywood. you can see several pics of mine on this thread -

It looks like you're in a '12, and from their webpage, they specifically say it does not fit a '13, '14, or a '15 (only '07-'11). I presume that isn't due to the exhaust since one of the first instruction is to remove the exhaust, but I could be wrong.
I don't really care for the product myself. To me it doesn't make sense to pay $300+ on an item that adds little more than double the space than already in that factory bucket, and also requires me to cut a big hole in my tub. I like the way ronjenx went because it provided a ton of room to store all my wheelin tools, and could provide me with a flat sleeping surface that covered up the gap in the 4dr rear seats.....all for about $75 or so. I can also pull it out completely and return to stock as if it was never there since it's only using the 4 pre-existing tie down anchor locations in the tub. Course, all that is based on owning a 4dr.

Mine is a '13 and is a bit awkwardly shaped close to the tailgate. Guessing you didn't look at the pics in the other thread I linked. I think I could have cut a little closer around that plastic trim work, but it just wasn't worth it to me. I had a quadratec rear mat that I can throw over the top of my "trunk" that gives it a nice finished look. I stopped using it just cuz I was tired of pulling it out in order to flip the front portion over for my flat platform. The minor gap I have in that area doesn't bother me.
