Another happy customer. Loaded SW1 into the truck and gave her a short run. Really happy with the roar of the exhaust when on it and yet how quiet it is when cruising. I love hearing the turbo more, and the exhaust brake seems to be working better.
I can spin first and second from a stand still, which is just about right for me. I will likely give SW3 a try at some point soon and will compare a full tank mpg for comparison before I decide where to leave it.
It was a bit of a pain to do a lone, especially the turbo down pipe flange connection. Had to get my 14-year-old daughter to help hold the exhaust in place while I tightened things up. Otherwise, it was fairly straight forward install. Any guy with a descent set of tools that get used regularly should be able to tackle this in about 4-5 hours. That is all it took me.

By all means get you Daughter involved. You'd be amazed at how many Kids out there can't even change a tire. I've got 3 grown Kids (2 Girls and 1 Boy) and they all know how to turn a wrench when needed. Before I let them drive they had to prove to me that they could do a basic tune-up (plugs/points) and change a tire, although the #2 Daughter won't admit it. She plays dumb and lets Fiance do everything.

Did it again, but you know who I mean. Anyway, when you start it next push E/B on then set your Cruise Control and set it while at Idle it should jump up to 1100/1200 RPM. Then walk around to the exhaust and listen to you new "JET Engine".

Blake, this is a great thread. Thanks for posting all this. I've been off the forum and have driven my truck very little for the last year and a half due to health problems. Now with this information I know how to begin "fixing" my 2007.5. I bought it when the 6.7 first came out and was really dissappointed with mpg when compared to my 2001. I do have a couple of questions for now. Would it be sufficient ,for he exhaust, to just replace the downpipe and also do the NOX and DPF delete pipe and leave the stock muffler and tailpipe? I am planning on ordering the S67ME. I will also be doing the egr and cooler and throttle valve delete.
I want to say thank you again for putting all this together for a dummy like me to learn from. When I wanted to start these mods a couple years ago I was really at a loss as to exactly what I needed and where to start. When the S67ME came out I had high hopes that this would work for me and now I know it will.

That is exactly how mine is setup, I have the down pipe and DPF/NOX deleted and the delete pipe runs straight into the factory muffler. Its really quiet and Im enjoying it vs my previous setup, 6" stacks unmuffled.
One extreme to the other....

Please tell me I didn't screw up. I just ordered all the stuff I need to do the delets and also a Smarty S67 I them realised I meant the S67 ME . IS this the SAME box but differen't software that I install?? OR do I need to try and contact the DTR store and change this. I know this sounds like a dumb question.
