Hi im new to this site and would like to say hello to all and it seems like an excellent site with loads of info. I am also new to the performance parts aspect on trucks and cars for that matter but I have a 2005 F-250 XLT 6.0L diesel truck crew cab with 60,000 kms on it and I just installed a Quadzilla Xzillaraider race module which as you know is addjustable from stock/60/120/160 hp and I am new to this type of stuff but i do understand that unless i add more air in and out I shouldn't go no higher than the 60hp setting correct?But I am think of adding an air intake and possible a highflow muffler to my truck now that beig said I dont want to spend thousands of $ into it basically I just want a little
more power for towing and fun lol but fuel ecomoney is my main reason now
with that being said what would you suggest for a good cheap air intake so if i want to go to the 120 hp setting,I wont blow up my truck and also I
dont want to replace my stock exhaust system if need be so i was wondering
what the Aero-Turbine Performance Diesel 3535 Muffler would be like and if it would fit my stock system and if not what do you suggest for me to get, keeping in mind that money is a factor.Any help and a good setup would be great.And do anyone know where in Canada to get an airintake and exhaust system say from the cat back fairly cheap.
P.S what is the stock exhaust size on my truck 3 or 3.5 inch?
Thanks Roger

 

I think AFE is up in Canada. I believe there specialty is intakes, but I do have a large bore exhaust that is turbo-back from them and I like it. I believe stock exhaust is 3.5, I just upgraded to the 4 with the aftermarket exhaust, I think that's pretty much what most people here run, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it is right. I would check with afe, http://www.afefilters.com/ , like I said I don't have much experiance with their filters(I have a Bully Dog air filter), but I do like the exhaust that I got from them.

 

I have your truck in an 06 model year. I too just installed the Quadzilla race modual. I also installed Quadzilla's green intake system. I have not run mine on the 160 hp setting yet. Believe me, the 60 hp setting will put a grin on your face, and the 120 hp will make you smile from ear to ear. My check engine light came on the second day I had mine. Code was P2290. Ran my truck on the stock setting for a day and the light went out. The code is a hard code and to get rid of it, I believe I would have to undo my batteries. The guy who sold me the Quadzilla chip is a ford tech. He said the trucks computer isn't used to seeing the injector pressure numbers that it is seeing now. That was the reason for the check engine light. Like I said, it went away, it hasn't come back. Be sure you get a good set of gauges, pyro at the very least. Im going to do a muffler delete on mine soon.

P.S. I also run B50 or higher in mine.

I agree you need gauges, particular if you are going to run higher then the first setting over stock, which I believe for you is 60hp. If your just going to get the pyro gauge and not any of the others, then I would go with the analog gauges and just choice one that has the looks that you want and has a good reputation for reliability. If you think you might want other gauges, boost, tranny temp, voltage, or if your plannin on gettin bigger aftermarket tires, then I would go with a digital monitor. Now quadzilla makes a digital monitor that alot of people seem to like, but most monitors out there are able to monitor other performance systems other then their own. The selling point for me is considering everything is working right; you can set into your monitor when you want the monitor to back down if your egt temps. reach a certain point(1250 by default on mine) or if your tranny temp reaches too high(180 by default on mine). Now most have that egt function, the tranny temp one is one that you will have to see if your module has that ability otherwise your gauge will only be able to monitor it and not defuel. All in all, your digital monitors are the most expensive, unless your getting 3 analog gauges, then your roughly gettin close to being in the same price range, particular when it is recommended at the very least you have a pyro gauge, which based on my research tends to be the most expensive among the analog gauges. However for roughly the price of 3 analog gauges(assuming bought new), you can get a digital monitor that has alot more then just three gauges in it, although you can only display 4 at a time and the egt is fixed as one of the parameters shown all the time, so you can usually only just change 3 parameters to be shown. However, after that long babble, you do need atleast an egt gauge if you plan on runnin it more then just at the first setting and plan on doing it safely.
