Default Diamond Eye and adjustments

Getting ready to do the Diamond Eye 4 inch muffler delete next weekend and wanted to know once I have it mounted and tacked do you guys recommend "re-tuning" anything on the intake side of the engine? Idle, fuel screw, timing, etc? I'm trying to do everything one time so I don't spend every off day re-fixing from the month before...

Where do you guys running these larger exhausts see the gains? EGT's, boost numbers, mileage, power, all of the above?

3-4 more pounds of boost, ~125* lower temps., faster spool, more noise.

I dropped egts 0ver 100f at WOT, lost 2psi of boost since there was less flow resistance. And it sounded better than the 3" staight pipe I had before.

Just finished putting it in the Diamond Eye 4 inch without no muffler and what a great kit. Took a couple hours to cut out the old system and strap in the new. Sounds great and no drone at highway speeds. Spools quicker and runs cooler. Best $266 I've spent yet...

Ummm ... that's "with no muffler"...
