in my sig is a mod and fixes link..scroll down and you should see 2 way to do this....you gain a little boost on the bottom end..loose a little boost on top.IM still pushing 27lb boost with red line hooked...but the WW is used so you don't get surge..surge is hard on a turbo..if you have a chipped truck or tow a lot the WW is the cheaper way out of it..you do get a NICE whistle out of it if you like turbo whistle

oh yeah i like the whistle, and i drive this truck daily, and pull my jeep maybe twice a month or less. but i dont mind losing a lil` boost to prolong the turbo.
