i just put on an MBRP exhaust from the turbo back with cat delete. Like KC said it is simple to put on as long as you have a sawzall. I put alot of miles on my truck about 250 on the average a day. I like a quiet cab. It is just a tad louder than stock. It also sounds heathy.

I didnt use a sawzall though.. I just dropped the spare tire, unbolted the stock exhaust, and used the persuasion of a BFH to remove it all.. the new system went right in very easy.

I won the Diamond Eye Turbo back on here some time ago. Due to a guy running a red light and then Hurricane Ike it didn't get put on as soon as I wanted. I finally got it put on and it sounds really good. Its really not too loud or annoying at all just driving around, but it wakes up when you romp on it and sounds great. I need to get someone to help me get some video of me driving it so I can do a write up and post it up. Rttoys heard it when we were towing our towys to go 4 wheeling a month or 2 ago. You won't be disappointed. I honestly have not compared prices of Diamond Eye vs the others, but I am sure they are reasonable. In fact, I bet Lukesdiesel can give you a price if you PM him.

Oh yeah, and the cops....good thinking.

Rttoys can tell you that I prefer to race on Voss for all of the Memorial / Hedwig Villages cops that like to write tickets for thinking about speeding.

It will increase sound and change tone slightly. We are running a special for the month of January on Mbrp performance series exhaust. Great bang for the buck. Let us know if we can help.

and also if you delete the catts and straight pipe it would it pass emissions in NY, bc i know a gass truck wont pass, but im still dont know much about diesel testing
