Single 255 in-tank and one on the shelf haha....
I'm considering just skipping the dual 255 setup and doing a Mangafuel or Aeromotive A1000 and calling it done. So far I've been fine with my single 255/60Lb setup. But it will run out of breath eventually. I'm not really all that worried about dyno numbers on it, but I'd like to think that this setup and maybe a tiny shot could push this truck into a 10.9x?? That's my goal so far... I'm estimating that to be between 750/800rwhp... But that's farther down the road. Probably won't happen for a while.

heres the last of the engine bay shots... and how it sits as of now. I'll detail it and get her all purdy for the weekend in a couple days, right now I've gotta have my hands in it too much to worry about making it look all that "pretty"

yeah, I've got the 4" Jegs kit on it with the tailpipe and all and I LOVE the way it sounds. I can hear the turbo all the way at the back of the truck at idle 
in boost it just sounds nuts!
The exhaust is the 3" DP, 3" cutout at the end of the DP, a 3"-4" reducer, then the 4" exhaust goes from the middle of the trans or so, all the way back. The pipe was just cut flat and the instructions said "trim to fit" so I took my cutoff wheel on the grinder and just trimmed it with the body line into a slash cut with the raw 4" pipe... looks badass, and not too outta place IMO, I usually HATE any exhaust showing, but this one has grown on me already. the look and sound is exactly what I was shooting for, and I can guarantee ya, this thing doesnt hurt flow AT ALL haha, and probably quieter than any exhaust system thats ever been on it other than stock.

this muffler is basically a huge *** glasspack.. its a little over 2ft long, and the case is about 5 1/2" with a 4" perforated/louvered piece of pipe inside it, the exhaust flows over the louvers, not into them... it sounds great,
VERY throaty, and much bigger than 347cubic inches. Ive been asked no less than 5 times how I got a big block in it
