Forgot. Also need the overboost regulator.
You'll need that no matter what tuner you go with

Externally is this the style I am going for, think it is a 04 Eddie Bauer with a 4in. lift. Not sure what it is exactly about it but it just looks smooth to me. Gonna do more work underneath and around the motor but eventually want to get to a look similar to this one. Anyone have a clue what rims are on this one?

Also looking @ diamond eye 4" exhaust with the muffler delete? Anyone use this brand before price is in the low $200.

Is there a make or brand I should be looking for on this?

Diamond Eye is reputable, probably won't have problems with it. Since you're in Texas, I would highly recommend getting a straight-through muffler on your exhaust system, since it is the law here. Don't want to get caught with your straight-pipe. Frankly, a 4" system with straight-thru muffler will flow just fine for your needs.

Has anyone used one of these before are they worth the money or should I just straight pipe it out the side?
The MBRP has a nice sound (throaty with a moderate whistle) if you put it in the high-flow direction. The cool thing about their muffler is it's designed to make a different sound, depending on which end is inflow.
