I had no plans to mod this truck. I liked that it was quiet, and stock. It all started when a customer had me remove his 4" exhaust to go back to stock to trade his truck in. He did not want it back . I kept it, and after looking at it in the back corner of my shop for 6 months , I finally gave in, and hung it last weekend, along with a 3 inch down pipe,( complete pain in the keester) a ppe boost enhancer valve( t's into the waste gate signal line, and tricks it into making more boost) and an air intake. I have an edge juice tuner, but I am not going to install it yet, until I get an egt gauge, so I do not cook it .
I instantly noticed that it spooled a lot quicker, and had significantly more power. It is a little louder than I would like, but tolerable at idle and cruise speed. It barks when you are on it though. I may add a quieter muffler this summer.
Today was my first road trip with this setup, and so far, hand calculated fuel mileage is 19-20 mpg. Not too shabby for a 4wd quad cab dually, ,that will easily pull 10 thousand pounds without breaking a sweat. Once I add the tuner, I should see an extra mpg. I am impressed. I'll check it over the course of the next few tankfuls, but that is a great improvement over the 16 I was getting before.
So now, I am one of "those guys" . Flame away
