Ya, mine is an auto but my cousins truck is a manual and he was told that it was an MBRP when he bought it a few weeks ago and it didnt have to many problems. It did rub a little bit but I think that he was able to adjust it enough to keep it off the housing.

I would, and will go with MBRP again when i get my new truck, in a heartbeat. It is a nice mellow sound and has just enough bark up top to tell people you've got something. It was simple to put in, it is stainless stell so I'll never have to replace it again and I just plain liked the kit.

Ya the MBRP kit comes with all the hangers that you will need and mine had a few extra's for a long wheelbase. And no I do not have an MBRP stack kit, I built my own stacks from the elbow in the bed and up cuz I did it for a fraction of the cost of a kit. I used the MBRP exhaust as much as I could and then I made it fit from there.

Shimming the FPR is just as simple as taking a BB from a BB gun and putting it behind the spring in the fuel pressure regulator. It is the Bronze nut on the side of the fuel bowl and there is a slide and a spring, you drop the BB in the slide and then put spring on top of that and then reinstall bronze nut. The purpose is to raise the fuel pressure up to the optimal psi, which is between 70-75 psi but no more than 80psi. There is a schrader valve on the side of the fuel bowl and you can check the pressure there. You should check the pressure before you do the mod just to make sure that you are not already in the optimal range or even close to it. This mod will bring it up about 20 psi, give or take a few.

Better fuel atomization which will lead to a little more hp, probably not noticeable unless its real low, and bet fuel milage.

ive heard you can check your fuel psi with a tire pressure gauge ? and its as simple as removing the nut and putting a bb in the slid? and does fuel come out when you remove this nut

yes you can use a tire pressure gauge but its got to be a high pressure one so that it will go up to the 70-75 psi and when you take it off the fuel will squirt out of it so don't point it at yourself when you take it off, or you'll be tryin out diesel's new line of calonge lol. And yes it is as simple as taking off the nut pulling out the spring and slide, dropping the BB into the slide and then putting the sripng back in, align it with the centering post on the nut and screw it in. I dont remember fuel coming out but I dont recall 100%.

Do you have any pictures of your stacks you could PM me? I am almost thinking of doing stacks and just curious what you have done.
