Looks like which ever one you do first will give the most mpg but either one either one alone will save a lot of fuel $.

I am running the BADP Fooler boxes, This is three plugs that take the place of the EGT Probes in the exhaust, No problem with them.
I installed Magnaflow’s 5” Stainless Steel, Turbo Back pipe. I got it from BADP.
The pressure lines are removed, and no longer used. The two O2 sensors are reinstalled into the Magnaflow pipe.
I did not like the Loud Hiss from the straight pipe, when the Exhaust Brake comes on, so I installed Magneflow’s SS Muffler. This got rid of the Hiss!
I installed the Edge Juice, with Attitude, with the EGT Probe that mounts in the exhaust manifold.
I do not race my truck! I run the Edge on level 1 (Economy) and it clears the codes at startup.
I now love my truck! It is running great, and is getting 21.5MPG.
I have a Boxer, that goes everywhere with us, and I can now leave my truck Idling at the Sporting Clay Range for 3 to 5 hours, get in and drive off with no problems at all! I couldn’t do that before!!
My Dodge dealer knows what I have done to my truck, and has no problem with it.
Just last week, he installed a new Turbo under warranty, with all the above mods left on the truck. I was not having any problem with the old Turbo, but a couple of months back, they drilled a cleanout hole in it. I did not like this, since there were very few threads for the new plug, He agreed, and installed the new Turbo.
When the money is right, and perhaps my warranty run it's course, this is exactly what I want to do to my truck. My warranty will run out in time before it does in miles, so it might be a while. Unless of course I can get my dealer to agree that doing all of this won't void my warranty.

Have you had to emmissions test your truck yet?

^^ That is exactly how I feel and would do too. Time will run out before the miles do on my warantee and that is a bit less than 2 years now.
