I just did the SPX 5+5 wheel and chose that over WW2 because it would produce more turbo whistle. The WW2 will give you a little more top end boost as well. I drive like an old man so decided to with sound over speed. haha. My last truck has 6.5 TD engine and had the best turbo whistle.... I missed it.

I also did the EBPV delete, 3" DP, 5" exhaust, and TS6 chip.... all in all it made a very big difference. Im still chasing a p0500 code that is causing my shifting to act up but the chip made a world of diff in drivability of the truck.

Thanks Duck! I hate to but I guess I will buy them. I know every bolt will snap. it just so rusty. even the headers have thick rust crust on them.

Coming from somebody who has made quite a few of these as well as a dozen t4 kits, I'd be very happy with paying his price for a set of pipes...
