I would at least have an EGT gauge. It's like running with scissors, Sure, lots of kids do it and make it out, but why play that game?

Stock SD exhaust is not that bad, a good 4" turbo back will help, but your not dealing with the smashed down pipe like the OBS trucks have.

Remove the muffler and cat (if you have one) and that is 80% of the restriction.
