Muffler delete pipe installed. Pics in gallery
Well I got the muffler delete pipe installed today. I ordered it from Pure diesel power and it was around $70. It took me roughly 2 hours. Could have been less time but I removed all the piping from the cat back to make sure I did it right (measure twice and cut once) 
The sound is much better than stock. Idling it has a slight bit more rumble and turbo whistle. The exhaust does sound much better if you get on it and sounds great after 2000 rpm!
I do think I will eventually remove the cat after warranty is up.....
Pictures are in my gallery if anyone wants to see.

why wait on the cat? pure diesel power has a cat delete pipe that just bolts right in. its an easy unbolt the cat and bolt in the delete pipe.and if you need to just bolt the cat back in .the turbo whistle is even more pronounced.and it seems to reduce turbo lag.it's a great thing.

isn't the muffler delete pipe meant to go from where the first clamp is on the stock muffler (front) to the rear of the muffler, cut close to the muffler?
i lined mine up the other day, looks like the muffler delete pipe is plenty long enough to slide in and use the stock clamp location and then just put a new clamp where the rear of the muffler is now.
so you cut the muffler delete pipe down a bit?
i haven't done mine yet but plan to soon

I would have thought that the delete pipe would have been the right length that it would just bolt in from the front flange of the muffler to just after where I cut......but it wasn't

I couldn't figure out why your delete pipe looked different than mine does(done by local shop). Then I took a closer look at it. On mine the shop used the front piece of pipe from the muffler, but cut the hanger off, rotated the piece 180 degrees to line up with the tail pipe, then welded the hanger back on. This allowed the use of the straight pipe. Maybe this will help someone out who is doing their own.....

[QUOTE=WishIhada7.3][QUOTE=Bushwhacker]He has no issues with a programmer or the muffler delete.
No problem with a programmer but wants you to keep the cat..........hummmm
I wondered what his reasoning is but I wasn't going to argue....should I be?
