Best tuner/ gauges/ straight pipe

I'm looking to straight pipe my truck I have a 03 6.0 f350 and I wanted to know what the best tuner is and the best long lasting gauges? My friend has glowshift but they keep breaking so what do you all think I should get?

I went the custom tunes route with SCT and Gearhead Automotive. For gauges I went the electronic route with Edge insight CTS

I have the SCT x4 excellent for gauges.....you can hook up an EGT gauge to it as well....

As far as exhaust goes, I run a 4 inch straight pipe I think it was a diamond eye? it fit like crap but was able to make it work......a buddy has a 4inch MBRP and it fit like a glove...but sound exactly the same

I'm using the SCT x4 tuner for gauges aswell. Good to hear others are using it. Although the dash gauge cluster would be cooler.

I've had the Glowshift gauges in my Excursion for around three years now without a problem.

For tunes I have an SCT X4 with tunes from GearHead and QuickTricks. Exhaust is a stock downpipe to gutted cat and straight pipe from there.

I have sct livewire with custom tunes from Matt at gearhead(no complaints) 4" straight exhaust from MBRP fit awesome. Had the Diamond eye on my 97 and was the biggest PITA will never buy from them again. I also had Glowshift gauges in my 97 and i think it's a crap shoot with them I never had a problem with mine but a few friends had nothing but trouble.

SCT X4 tuner/monitor, 4" straight pipe, as long as it is mandrel bent and stainless it does not matter the brand.
