Default What exhaust system?

I second the 5" expandit kits. I have installed one on both my trucks.

I was told the Turbo was enough backpressure for these engines so I bought a 5in Expandit kit for both my 01's. I ended up selling one of the kits to a friend and installed 5in stacks, part of me wishes I didn't do that but I can actually race now without a pipe facing up on exhaust.

Default Thanks

A lot of good info thanks. One last thing, whats the diff between a delete and a muffler besides sound? Is there any hp gain or is it mainly a diff in sound?

I have installed several Expandit kits and they are nice for the price.


I have Flo Pro and love the sound of their exhaust.

Thanks for all the info. I ended up going with the 5" expandit kit. Installed well and helped a bit. Next purchase will be gauges. Anyone know of a decent cheaper set up for gauges?
