Diablo Tuner Question??

I just bought a diablo tuner off ebay, I was reading the manual before installing it and it said I should have exhaust upgrades in order to run the high hp settings. Can I run these setting with stock exhaust? I have a 99 F250 diesel. If not what do u guys recommend???

Thanks

Since you've got a 7.3, you might want to think about upgrading the intake if you haven't already. I'm usually firmly against intakes, but I think the 7.3s can benefit from them.

Is it possible to run high hp settings without causing damage with the stock exhaust, yea it's possible, I wouldn't want to try it with gauges. Although in all honesty, I wouldn't try it period. You have a far great chance of causing some problems with high EGTs then not.

I would get the gauges before I would run any programmer on the truck. Then do your exhaust, then perhaps the tuner.
