Good morning yall.
I know how loud my truck was with out a muffler and cat and 5" cat back exhaust and that K&N CAI. I like it now with the stock intake and the 5" muffler. It sounds good but it is quiet when towing. I could not even get my EGT's to go over 1200 deg on a 12% grade for 15 miles. I thought it was a big problem?

As long as tuning is good and everything else is right then egt's shouldn't be an issue. I always pull my camper in the 120 race tune and unless I am hitting a big hill or lugging it to much the egt's are never an issue.

I took it easy on mine. I pulled mostly in unlimited tow which is stock with changed shift points. From Mitchell SD to home I tired 8,000 lbs max tow tune which is 60 hp over stock. I liked it and better mpg but I weight about 9500 lbs. Matt at gear heads said I can tow up to 10,000 lbs with that tune if I am smart about it. If I have head studs then 13,000 lbs. The SRL tune is 160 hp over stock, I will not try that one towing but empty it is great.
I made some poor zoomer Civic in Yellowstone look stupid when he was riding my bumper
and tried to pass going up a 10% grade at 9000 ft. I let him get up to my door then punched it, he was already standing on it. I left him behind very quickly and he did not rode my bumper anymore. He had alot of performance stickers on the car so I thought they made it really fast.
