I am interested in your exhuast setup. did you add the TOG's after the radix? if so, what kind of gains did you see. I would like to see some pics of your exhuast setup..."true duals". Any issue with carb in cali?

Thanks

I kind of did things backwards, Ordered parts and put things on as they came. I put headers on first with the rest of the exhaust stock then I put the Radix on still with the stock exhaust. I really didn't know what I wanted to do with the exhaust as for the cat back. I don't like loud exhausts (I guess I'm getting old) plus I want to keep the looks stock (I like having a sleeper) I didn't want to take the pipes straight out the back that is what everybody around here has and I don't like them going out the sides. So I decided to just take them up and over the rear end (clean a$$) As for gains, I felt good gains from the headers but not really from the rest of the exhaust because I put them on about a week or so after the Radix and I was still at awh over the radix. Believe it or not between all my mods exept the radix I felt the biggest gains from the outlaw intake that they fabed up for my radix air tube and now have for sale
(That is my truck they have on there web site) it was unblievable and the 400 mile trip back home from there factory I had a 1.6 MPG increase

The TOG mid length headers have a CARB number
if you have anymore question you can PM me.

OH, by the way the exhaust sounds really good at first I thought it was to loud (I like the sound of the stock exhaust at WOT) but it sound good now

ya, your definetly going to want to have headers on there before the radix, or at least install them at the sametime. all that air getting sucked in is going to need better airflow coming out.

your going to love having that thing. i suggest doing the install yourself. very easy. take a weekend to do it, so you can take your time on it.

My goal for the truck is 400rwhp.
We will see what happens, then maybe the headers.

I am having a shop do the install. After researching on here and seeing a bunch of install issues, I would rather play it safe. Besides, I am getting before and after dyno runs with the install. It will be nice to see some numberical results.
