i crossed the line!!!
i had a 99 sd with a v10. not any more!! i got a 99 sd POWERSTROKE. just put on ss 4" exahust what a difference there. first question is the down tube off the turbo is 3.5" then to 4" through a 4" muffler and 4" out the back. is the 3.5" for back pressure or what. next question is a chip or programer. if jody is out there talk to me. i tow 6800 toy trailer want to add some performance, and more performance when the trailer is not on. i want to be able to adjust on the fly. i have no gages, so i was thinkin of pillar mount or display on programer. what do you guys think!!! i know its alot of things but i need some direction. should i change my name? thanks for your time. 10 pipes

Yep ditto to the gauges first - it's just the safe way to start your mods. As far as the 3.5" downpipe... the turbo gives the motor all the back pressure you need - but that downpipe will keep your power down lower in the rpm than if you went to a bigger one, but at the cost of a few egt degrees if you are gonna be making some serious HP. For what you will be doing - I'm sure you will be fine with it.
I'd go with a 4 or 6 position flip chip - you'll be able to change your setting any time you like - and you can get a hotter setting than you could with a tuner, for when you unhook your trailer!!

3.5" downpipe is fine. Stock downpipe is 3".
Yes, get gauges first. After that, you can't beat a Jody chip from what I hear. I'm saving to order one myself!

TS Performance is good, I bought one through Diesel Innovations and it was a TS chip. 4 pos makes for a lot of fun!! At 110hp I just tap the pedal and the smoke will roll out.
Other thing, what do you have for a tranny?? If it's the auto, look at a shift kit, real common and cheap is the Sonnax valve and Tri-cummulator springs. Will quicken and firm up your shifts.
All that will make you think you have a new truck!
