New to the powerstroke

Been around the FTE site for a long time, just recently got a hold of a nice 96' F350 7.3L powerstroke and wanted to just say howdy. I am not new to the 7.3 itself though I had an 89' Superduty with the IDI non-turbo in it. So far I'm loving the powerstroke and thinking about doing some exhaust upgrades. Just need to read up on what I want to do.

Here's a few pics of the truck





Oh and my company truck that I seem to live in for the most part...LOVE it though

awsome truck bro, love the rims, are thoughs the stock xlt rims or after market? very clean truck, yeah open up that intake with a 6637 napa filter from fleetfilter.com and get a full exhaust and youll love how she responds, just removing the cat and muff at stock size really lets your hear that turbo, after you gut that nasty pancaked DP first! how many miles are on it?

Dave Welcome to the OBS Powerstroke forum! That is a NICE truck you have. The 3 inch downpipe exhaust upgrade is one of the biggest bang for your buck that you can do. Enjoy the "new" truck.

Looks great! Wish my paint looked that good... haha

6637 filter and 3" downpipe definately worth doing. Also a good 4" exhaust or straight pipe.

I am pretty sure they are the stock rims, I love them cause they are clean and simple. Also truck has about 165k on it right now.

Have been searching for information on down pipes, are they all aluminized steel or does someone make one in stainless?
