and whats wrong with flomaster? i love mine and my friend had a magnaflow. he didnt like it at all and it sounded like crap. just my opinion.

and why wouldnt i just wait for the tune for after i do the other mods? if i did the tune first id have to retune after the mods i do. doesnt sound like good planning. but thanks for the input.
you are right but if it takes you 1 r 2 years to put everthing on it then you need something in the tune.their is alot you can do to the little 4.8. send me a pm on what you have on the truck.

I just have intake, exhaust, headers, descreened maf, and Wheatley dual tune in an 04 ext cab 4.8 with crappy 3.42s and an open diff running mid 14s. Nothing else. They respond well to mods.
