Exhaust system done
Went from the Banks Monster exhaust (3" DP --> 3" pipe into muffler and 3.5" out the rear)
I removed the Banks muffler and used a 3/3.5" adaptor and 30 deg elbow and took the 3.5" all the way from the DP out the back.
Still not to loud, nice note. I can hear the turbo whirring, if there is something on the road to reflect the sound I can hear engine note as well but on the open road its still very quiet in the cab. Turbo spools just a little faster and noticable boost in hiway power, not monumental but noticable.
I can hear a throaty sound from the intake now that did not exist before. On hard acceleration it sounds a little like a 460.
This is just a little feedback for those thinking about it, well worth it.

I believe I always will prefer the sound of a straight pipe. I loved the straight pipe on my PSD, and just yesterday got a piece of 4" pipe so I can cut the muffler of the 4" dual exhaust I have on there now.....just need to run to NAPA and get a couple of 4" clamps.

I couldnt note this before an extensive test drive but Im realizing noticably better milage.
I caught myself opening the rear slider to enjoy the growling and whistling, Im most anxioius for the new turbo calibrated IP to arrive from DPS.
This exhaust upgrade seems to be a win/win upgrade.

I just removied my muffler on my 7.3 non turbo diesel yesterday and ts pretty darn loud. I still have the orignal exhaust back to the back of the cab and stoped it there. (just trying to expirment to see if it would run any better or not) i think I am goign to install 3inch flowmaster and pipe on it untill i get a turbo to help quiet it down some.
