Guys I just got an 07.5 ccsb dmax. Has 45k miles and bone stock. I have a 9" cst I'm going to install along with a set of 37s. I want fuel milage and power.. What programmer exhaust do I go with? I'm sure I want to dpf delete and I dont mind used stuff.. There seems to be alot of stuff here on the forums, someone lead me in the right direction! Thanks

You're going to have to re-gear with running 37's. Probably a 4:56 ratio. Your best bet would be either EFI or PPE for tuning, DPF delete, and a turbo back exhaust system. With the big lift and large tires it won't be easy making it a Prius on the hwy. Running big power, means more stress on the factory trans. These things can snowball on you, when you decide to increase the power.
