Is there a 5" exhaust that bolts directly to the turbo?

Yes, but what he is referring to is the fact that most have a 4" pipe that runs off of the cast elbow and then down the side of the tranny once it clears there then they go up to 5". If you look at my FloPro/Motoblue in the pic, it goes to 5" immediately out of the elbow.

I was told that the 5" wouldn't clear the frame or tranny but I had lots of room on my 04. Maybe the automatic takes up more room thanthe 6spd?

Due to this they typically have a 4" downpipe on most 5" exhausts. To me, that seems pretty lame. If I want 5", I want 5" from the turbo back.

Flow Pro and Magnaflow are the only companies I've heard of that offer true 5" from the turbo back.

Maybe there are others but I have not found them.

The flo pro for 03-04 trucks has a 4" downpipe that turns into a 5"er via a flared fitting. This is they're advertised 5" turbo back. The 04.5-05 has a 5" true turbo back. I'm assuming this is due to the different sized turbo outlet flanges on the 03-04 vs. 04.5-05.
