exhaust then an intake. youve got a box. what gears are you running??? 35's are pretty good size for 3.73's, i would recommend 4.10 gears that will liven things up quite a bit, expecially on a stock engine.

What size exhaust should I go with 4" or 5" and is there a way I can tell what gears I have o and also this is a everyday driver and I pull a 7x20 trailer with my 4wheelers also so will it affect my gas mileage (diesel)

You definitely want to start with intake, exhaust, gauges, and a tuner...

Exhaust doesn't matter, 4" or 5", just pick one and go with it. 5" will sound a bit deeper.

For intake, I'd hit up RiffRaff (site sponsor), they have a pretty good deal on an intake kit...

After intake, exhaust, gauges and tuner, there really isn't anything more you can do without starting to spend some money...


By the way, yes, you are using the forum fine. Just type your responses in the quick reply box and then hit "post quick reply" that will post your response in the thread... If you have any questions, PM me and I can help you out. Welcome To Diesel Bombers, We're glad to have ya!

in truth they are all ABOUT the same. some filters are dry (meaning to clean it u just beat the dirt off or use a blow gun and compressor) some are oiled (u have to put special oil on it to clean it)

with intakes there are stage 1 (new filter box that sits next to the battery) and stage 2 (new filter box that has the battery sitting in it and uses a heat shield to keep hot air out)

exhausts are all the same in my mind 4" mandrel bent by magnafolw is the same a 4" mandrel bent rbp and so on only differences would be some come with tips and others dont

Pretty much the same... I went with the 6637 style... Cheap and effective.

Same with exhaust, pick one and run it...
