Everyone give me your opinion on this please!!
 
I am getting ready to put a magnaflow muffler on in place of my stock one with a 5 inch tip. Also I am looking at the superchips flashpaq. Will that be a good combo? I basically want something so the power is there when I want it. I help my dad haul hay occaisonally but that isnt really what I care about. I work in the oilfield and do ALOT of driving. Most of the driving is highway until I get to the county/lease roads that lead to the locations. I also read that this would improve the MPG a little too. I have had my truck for 3 weeks and now have 2600 miles on it. I previously drove a 2002 Chevy D-Max with the Edge under hood setup without the exhaust. The throttle response was unreal and the truck would puff quite a bit of black smoke when I got on it to pass a car or just take off quick. I want something similar to that. Is my way of thinking going to give me that? Any other advice would be great. What setting does the flashpaq have in it? I read 3 settings. So is this stock, towing and performance? What is best to leave it in? Sorry for such a long post. I am new to the performance side of diesels.

I dont know about flashpacs, I would say go with somthing else, like a EZ or a Quad module would be good for you.

Quads price cant be beat...

Yup what he said!

Good luck on trying to make your 3rd gen smoke!! These motors burn fuel more efficiently than the V-8 guys. You'll only get a slight puff unless you really bomb the heck out of it!

Check out my thread "smokey pics".

Luken and some other have some good ones in there.[coffee]

Notice even in the pictures the videos tell it all just a short burst of smoke and the truck is gone.

Not like those with out the electronic wizardry of the 3rd gen, smoking all the time.

mine smokes more than a lot of guys around me just with bdtd[guitar]

also about the muffler..are u gonna take out the cat? imo replacing a muffler w/ another muffler is a waste of money especially if you put a big box and need more flow...then again i dont have a muffler[guitar]

duddin10 10-06-2006 09:43 PM

Not sure. I am going to a place in OKC (City Muffler) where my dad had his done. He drives a 04 F350 and it sounds great. Not too much but enough to let you know its there. With what I have read so far I am going to talk to them about the quadzilla xzillaraider and the quadzilla commander to see if they will sell me a package with all 3 together.

wheelen, i aint feelin the love, i had a good smoke vid on there, i thought we were bcsdtr brothers man....haha

super_b ak 10-07-2006 01:02 AM

I like my flashpaq but It dosent make much smoke. Little puff more like a haze behind you. I run mine on performance all the time and havent had any problems with it. Does make my truck scoot. Havent tried tow mode yet

duddin10 10-07-2006 08:20 AM

I'm between the quadzilla and superchips now. I guess it just depends on personal preference. Everyone seems to have their own opinions and what they want and how they drive them.

wheelndealn 10-07-2006 08:33 AM

You got it bud, its all about what you want. If you can, try them all.
