New CTD Owner
I have recently purchased my 06 2500 Megacab, auto, 4x4, CTD (600) and have been online looking at performance upgrades. I have been looking at the 4" cat back system by MBRP, and AFE intake with the proguard 7 filter, and the Edge Juice with attitude. I only plan on hauling old muscle cars around and that will happen just a few times a year. I also live in the high elevations of Colorado where air is already an issue. Does anyone have any advise on my choices or any other products I should consider?

Congrats on your purchase...
Maybe you should start a new thread asking a specific question. I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses. Good luck whatever route you choose...

For exhaust, I wouldn't go the full cat-back route unless you want 5" exhaust, which you don't need unless you start upgrading turbos, etc. Our trucks came with a 4" turbo-back stainless steel exhaust from the factory. Why cut it off and chuck it when you can just replace the muffler and reap the benefit of a cat-back system. MBRP makes a muffler only replacement system for about $150. You can get it right here on DTR, just give Lary Ellis a call.
The Edge Juice with Attitude and AFE with Proguard 7 are good choices. The Attitude monitor eliminates the need for a set of gauges to monitor EGT's, boost pressure, tranny temp, etc., which is really important when installing power adders such as the Juice, since it has these functions built-in.
Anyway, good luck with your new ride!

Exhaust
My truck comes with 4" turbo back exhaust, should I eliminate the Cat and muffler or should I just replace the muffler with a high performance muffler?

It all depends on how much sound you want. I love the sound of mine with the muffler straight piped, but the kitty still present. Some prefer a slightly quieter sound using something like a MBRP replacement muffler.
