hew a friend of mine just picked up a lightly used 2006 dodge 2500 ( with a cummins of course)....since he spent a lot on the truck his budget is kind toast but he still wants to play around a little bit. So my question is what are some cheap "diy" mods i can do to his truck on the cheap like 200 or less.....i already custom made him a new exhaust using the stock tubing: i punched out the cat and did a muffler delete. any advice is welcome.

All the fins do is reduce turbo whine.
