Before you go gettinm yourself a ranch hand front bumper i would consider gettin some bigger pipe my friend. That small of exhaust cant be good for you turbo. there is probably mass amounts of backpressure built up in the housing. open the pipes up and you'll be impressed with the performance gains.

Thanks for the input Partner, but is that exhaust REALLY that bad? It's a 4-inch from the turbo to the rear axle that splits into 2 2.5" dual exits. I noticed a decent power gain, and the turbo sounds great. I got dual exits so I could roll my winders down and hear it in stereo. Has a great cackle at higher RPM's, too.

Brother, Brother, Brother......... Exhaust is key to keeping EGT's happy. I gurantee you have high numbers runnin that system. I mean that exhaust your runnin would be like runnin 1 3/4" pipes on a Z06 corvette, it just aint right. if you like the dual look and sound you can buy a 4" dual kit from Diamon Eye Performance. The you'd have something.

wow, i just went back and looked at those pipes... I'm with steve on this one. Those are gasser pipes. Let that beast flow... you most likely don't have 4" from the turbo, prob 3. 4" would require some serious firewall cutting. Other than that, truck looks good. I'm with ya on the ranch hand bumper, but wayyyyy overpriced. I'm thinkin about $100 of metal, half a day of work, and a case of beer and I can have something pretty close.

Nice looking truck Outlaw. I really like the rear bumper. The front would look even better with a big beefy yet stylish grill gaurd. I do have to agree about your tail pipes though. you would be better to go single 4" than dual 2.5 inch.
