You could always jet build a box it only cost like $30 or so for the materrials. That is what I did and put 2 10's behind the rear seat. If you want the deminsions let me know and I will see if I can find them.

It was the first thing I put on my truck. The programmer and the intake came 2 weeks after the fact. I absolutely love it. My son told me to do it, and I told him to take a hike. When a diesel performance guy told me that I'd love it, then I bought it. My son hasn't let me forget that since. Sometimes 18 year olds DO know what they're talking about *LOL*. I can't wait for my tip to show up, and I can't wait to see the look on my wifes face when it does!! *LOL*

I didn't notice a difference. They may think it does because of the sound. It's something else. You'll hear the turbo spool up and it sounds like a jet...then it'll unspool and growl, then it starts it all over again. It's definately a head turner. I've walked into a store and came out before the turbo cool timer cuts off and have seen people standing next to the truck pointing and trying to look up under it. Then you get into your truck and leave them in a cloud of smoke!

I don't know if there is any dyno proof but allegedly you'll lose power with a 5" exhaust rather than a 4" unless your creating over 600hp.
Also how dare you guys say you have to have a monster truck to use a 8" tip.

I think the 8" would look stupid on my truck since it's not lifted. I'll wait to add that later on.You'll see more smoke, especially if you cut the cat and muffler out of the picture. As far as egt's...I didn't gauge them before the chip, but I've had it over 1200 before racing down the highway at over 100mph. I've got the tuner toned down now so it'll defuel at 900.
