got my 4" exhaust done today...
holy crap it sounds good!!! i sound like an 18-wheeler coming down the street. i've been grinning ear to ear since i left the shop today. my turbo doesn't whistle anymore between shifts as you'll see in these videos of before and after...
start up (cold)
accelerating through the gears
first start up after the install

what turbo u running? - my friend has a nv5600 in his service truck (although its a 24v) but it seems like it rolls through the gears and shifts much smoother than the ole getrag

i'm only running the stock baby h1c. i'm saving up for a gds 60mm comp. upgrade. which i hear is better than an hx-35 on these beasts. the nv5600 is definitely a smooth shifter and has a fairly short throw if you can't tell in the vids. i've noticed an increase of boost by about 2 pounds and my boost gauge moves faster haha. also, when i get on the throttle it really wants to get moving!! i've got a straight 10' section of 4" going straight to the back and it's still in front of the rear end by about 2 feet. all i need now is a turn down tip and it's done. overall price for the system... $165 not including a turn down tip. for that i may just buy an elbow from dynaflex and have the shop weld it rather than spend $50+ for a stainless tip from silverline or anywhere else. plus i think it would look a little off to have an aluminized system with a stainless tip on it lol

Nice. !
You my friend need a 3200rpm spring and some throttle linkage adjusting ... Your running out of RPM real fast,faster then any stock governor Ve cummins I've ever heard including our 93.
Anyone who agrees quote this...

agreed! haha a 366 spring is in my plans. i'm kinda paranoid for some reason. this is my DD and i can't have it sitting too long before i need to put it to use. i know just about everyone on here has done many upgrades to their trucks and they're still running strong. the only problem is, i'm not working at the moment and i'm only going to school. so i'm really cautious so that i don't blow the head gasket or anything else for that matter. i've made the linkage adjustment to the inner hole already. i'm telling myself to do a head re-torque before i do any other performance upgrades. probably not a bad idea period and i need to check my valve lash. wouldn't mind adjusting them to see if i can quite this thing a bit.
