Talking Well, I went and did it

I just finished ordering:
http://www.dieselperformanceparts.com/cgi-bin/search.pl/dieselshop?f_success=dieselshop2&e_unique=FORD9903 5
And: http://www.motorhaven.com/home.php?cat=38
And an Isspro boost and pre-turbo pyro.
Now I'm all shaky and excited as a kid the night before Christmas.
I can't wait for them to arrive so I can get them installed!!!!!

Man,,, I'm really jealous..... I want a 5" system so bad its not even funny... Surely your not going to keep the muffler, are you? the 5" sounds so good with no muffler.. Ya gotta try it at least, if mama complains you can always add the muffler later..

Well Kwik, hurry up and get that thang installed, make an audio so we can hear it!
Is that a muffler that comes with it? Looks small.

Is it possible to get a 4/5 inch system and still retain the "stock" quiet sound? I prefer quiet over the obnoxious loud sound.

Congrats Kwik, I got my Predator yesturday I only installed the 60hp econo/tow tune...HOLY COW the throttle response is amazing on THAT setting. I think that's where it will stay. By the way I ordered my WW today based on your recommendation. Modding is adictive! I've only had my truck for 1 month and three days and I've done so much... I CAN'T STOP!

The guages are going to be mounted in the A- pillar.
I'll let you all know how it sounds.
I'm really looking forward to surprising a few ricers. At 10,000 lbs and a six speed stick it can never hope to be fast, but hey who knows?
My biggest hope is to keep up with the other guys on the big hill climbs. I was soundly spanked by both Cummins and Duramax last week on hills. With a 4.88 rear end that is unacceptable!

You're going to wonder why you waited so long. Or maybe you never wanted to wait and just took this long to convince the boss it was really a "necessary" upgrade to ensure safety of the family, trailer, and all on your expeditions. You know . . . this is just to get more life out of the truck and keep everything running smooth . . . right?!?

Randles absolutely right!

Just to see those ricers fade away into a cloud of smoke makes it well worth it!

That exhaust system sure looks alot like the magnaflow I put on my truck.

One word of advice:

A cordless sawzall is a must, and the more cuts you make on stock system, the easier it is to remove. Just make sure that you don't damage any of the rubber hangers, and that you have a long enough blade for your saw.

On the DP, an extra buddy makes it a whole lot easier to install the DP as it's almost impossible to get clamped up properly on your own. I lucked out on this part.

Oh no! Once you start you can't stop. I've dropped 10k in the last year. But its been a lot of fun spankin those DMaxes at the pulls. Big one coming up 10/8 in New Lexington OH.

That's great Kwik. Can't wait to see some pics and hear an audio. Make sure and let us know how many times you dream about it between now and the time it arrives.
