Exhaust and Gauge times guys! Help me spend some of my money!

I'm hoping for some help and imput on a set of gauges and exhasut system.

For exhaust I'm thinking 4" turbo back with a good sound muffler but don't want my truck really loud, Live in a town and down want all my neighbors to know I roll in at 1am. I do want better mpgs and lower EGTS.
No stacks.

For a set of gauge I know I want a EGT, trans but not sure what for my 3rd, I do a lot of towing and plan on a lot more. I want to get a chip and maybe stage 1's but just figure I'd start with My exhaust and gauges for now.

So I was looking at MBRP and diemond eye. Just not sure what to get beause U can't hear sounds over the internet. So I'm hoping for your imput guys!

Thanks Doug

Go with boost, pyro, trans (assuming you have an auto). I have diamond eye 5". Some have problems with MBRP downpipes.

Thanks Mike. They have come down a lot. The last time I looked they were 200. I have a boost gauge in this truck and the 94. I also have an oil pressure gauge and both have worked flawlessly. I wanna get a sunpro pyro but the autometer is working great so Im not messing with it.

Since you already have the Diamond Eye downpipe, I'd just go with DE for the rest of the exhaust system. I can't tell the difference in sound between DE and MBRP.
For gauges, I'd go with Autometer or Isspro. I have the Isspro EV2's and like them a lot... except they were about $200 more than the regular EV's.

I agree with Craig...Autometer or ISSPRO's for the gauges and just get a cat back diamond eye exhaust system.
