i have the perf-tow set on my tuner..by the way i love that tuner..what a difference, my truck was without the tuner for a few days and my wife refused to drive it because it was to slow!!!

on a seperate note does 12-14 mpg sound right with 22" wheels?

I get that kinda crappy mileage on my dually w/4.10 gears, you'd think with the higher gears in your Excursion you would see about 15 mpg or slightly more? If you're running anything but D2, yeah that kinda mileage is somewhat normal.

BTW, I love my truck straight piped! Will never put that muffler back on!

The sound was not overly loud....but we camp a lot and i dont want to be that guy that wakes everyone up. I'll have to wait and hear one straight piped in person before i do mine. last night was not a good estimate of whay it would sound like...it was still up on the lift, short piped (cut where CAT was) and inside the shop. if he and I were not in a hurry i would have liked to take it off the lift and drive it around the block to help me more accurately decide.

It really doesn't seem to be a lot louder until you get into the go pedal more. I have 4" MBRP straight piped.
