i will, in hopefully a week...i just bought it online tonight. I cant wait!:)

also in a week or two, the tranny will be built and ill have some tierod sleeves, so i can really test her out. Hopefully the video will be of my LLY running a 13.0 1/4 and you can listen to the exhaust then too):h

5" around? So it's 1.6" in diameter?

But seriously, that's a nice looking truck. Should have gone with a straight pipe though ):h

;) How's it working out for ya?? Did you end up tack welding any of it?? I did but now i'm sorry because i'll likely fail emissions :rolleyes:

I'm curious to hear your test results or gut feeling if you lost low end TQ or lack of turbo response like some claim going to a 5" dia system.

when i put my 5" stack on i did get that feeling. the cooler it is outside though i dont feel like that. when temps get above 85 outside i feel like i lost power. i think its more from not having the muffler for back pressure. i will be going to the track fri and see if i lost anything.

I've had 5" summit for a while now, sounds good and can really fog out an intersection.

Turbo provides more back pressure than you need.
