You could get a complete catback, or you can just get the muffler. It really depends on what you want to do. If you are going to have a shop install it I wouldn't order unbent pipe or hangers, it is hard to tell what you would need until they start on it.

I would just get the muffler and replace the stock one with it myself, and still use the stock pipe.

It shouldn't take much just to lop the old system off, stick a muffler on it with enough pipe to get it away from the cab with a dump on it. I would guesstimate about $100.

my flow 40 dumped was $40 for welding it on, i bought it from a friend for $40 as well...so $80 total

how do you tell how many cats you have

Look under the truck and count 'em!

The exhaust to each of the front cats is monitored as it enters and when it exits them. The emissions system expects to see feedback from both banks. The rear cat has no sensors.
Check the sticker under the hood to see if you truck is certified for California emissions. If so, you definately want to leave the cats alone. There are a lot of problems using aftermarkets on CA vehicles.
Good luck.
