nice.

i am looking for a turbo-back however i have 2 questions:

1. can i buy the turbo back and only install the cat-back portion of the kit until i am more confident that the truck will not req warrantee repair? (fomoco seems to not have a prob w/ cat-back, but may w/ turbo-back)

2. does the mbrp kit have the 4" pipe long enough so i can run it w/out a tip to the edge of the rear quarter-panel? (huge tips provide no function and are a little to "bling" for my taste)

nice article! i was thinking about the cool duals 4" system turbo back. is there any performance gain by using the duals vs. the single 4"? or is it mainly for looks?

From what I read in the 6.0L forums, anything over the single 4" is overkill as the turbo itself becomes the biggest obstruction in getting the exhaust gasses out.

1. I'm pretty sure you can. Both my last truck and present truck are straight piped. I had zero issues with warrantee work on my last truck (I have not had any need for warrantee work on the new truck). It is really dealer dependent. I suggest calling around and asking if a turbo back is an issue.

2. Yes


rigz... I am unaware of any performance gains over a single 4" compared to duals.
