05 power upgrades
Im currently driving a 99 350 v10 
with a 05 350 psd on order. Im considering(will get) all the basic upgrades and was wondering who tried some of the things available now. The exhaust will probly be the last upgrade in case i have to have warrenty work done.( I can change air filter and flash tune to stock if need be). but Id like to know if anyone has a magnaflow, banks, bully dog, hog, ect. What does it sound like? I noticed Diablo didnt list tranny shift firmness on their tuner, should i get superchips or hypertech? What about 3-pillar guages, is there one that stands out above the rest? Air filters: any that I should avoid? Any input from someone that has any of these things on a 05 would be helpful to me.

On my 05 I have the Diable, AFE and a Banks 4' cat back w/ delete pipe but its on order. They ordered the exhaust but the cat del was on back order. It should be here this week. I wouldn't go to crazy w/ a chip w/ out an exhaust. I pulled w/ and w/ out the chip and it gets hot. but w/ the exhaust its an easy 100deg cooler and also seems to cool quicker when I let off the gas.

Hey YZ, just a little "FYI" you should wait on the "thumbs down" italian hand gestures, until you actually have an 05 with power upgrades to "judge". I personally am doing the exhaust first. that states 25hp-50ft/lbs increase with the 4" turbo back, dual .
Hey ARG.. should change the signature I doubt you have a 4 foot back exhaust rather than a 4 inch.. hehehe just nitpicking...
I love my 05

easy big fella
did'nt mean to put that icon with the title. To be honest with you, i never even knew how to do it and just stumbled upon it and did'nt know how to erase it. I ain't too smart, but I can lift heavy things.

1BD. Hmm, hey 4 ft better flow. Yeah I am not to good w/ my measurements. I'll see if a 4 footer is available.
I still wanted to pass out when I had to kick down some serious cash for the banks.

oh gosh
No problem.. I've always been a smart buda big brain . Then I looked at my own signature, and I KNOW I typed, 4 (") but it only shows up as 4 dual... that means I should have 8 exhaust tips... hmmm that should look crowded under the dually fenders.. UNLESS... I have 2 under each fender, and 2 under the leftside bumper and 2 under the right side bumber.... hmmmmmm interesting..
