unless you have 52" tires with 3:10 gears, your RPM's won't be that much lower...

Also what would going to a 5in exhaust do? I'm currently running a 4in turbo back and the truck responded very well to it from the stock 3.5.
The only reason I ask this is do to the fact that I had my exhaust welded on. So to change the downpipe I have to change out the rest of the exhaust to at least the stack. Which is 5in to a 7in stack.

Only going to change the sound... Nothing performance wise.

I may just go back with a 4in exhaust. Also who all is a dealer for an S366? Only person I have had luck finding is Irate.

He wants you to go with a 38R because its what they sell...

T4 or T4i mount or just dont bother.

I made my mind up on the S366 after talking to both jake and the local dealer in town.

I have been wanting to swap to a T4 or T4i mount for awhile. And the 38r just wont hold up to my plans, along with for the cost of the 38r I dont see it worth the cost.

I'm going to attempt selling everything I remove, to try covering some of the cost.

My cab is about to be on its way to looking like yours CSIPSD. I cant have to many gauges. So I am adding more as I change turbos.
