Like I said I saved a few $$ and did not do the turbo back ( must be a Yankee thing or is it called just being cheap :P) Any ways from all that I read prior to doing mine the 4" is very tight and you will most likely have to modify the firewall or DP to get it to fit without hitting anything. The 3.5" goes in in about 30-45 min from what I read. Also the oem DP needs a good whack from underneath to get it free.

oops I forgot a few words in my other post. My MPG's went from 13.5 to 15.1. So they went up sorry for not typing what I meant to say. I am on the same page as you.

I just checked Nevada's DMV site and it states: "Light duty diesel vehicles undergo testing on a dynamometer. The technician will also perform a test for visible smoke and a visual inspection of the emissions components."
I know there are people in Nevada with straight pipes, how do they get away with it?
