as with any modification, you will want to add a exhaust temp guage and if you plan to tow a good(stock one has too much span) trans temp guage. An larger exhaust will result in a lower EGT.

"DiabloSport strongly recommends the use of larger diameter performance exhaust components and exhaust temperature gauges with the use of any performance diesel tuning."

Guages are always recommended...however, once I installed the Preditor I set on 65 H.P. haven't changed it in over 10,000 miles...no guages.

BTW: I love it.
