But would there be a difference from the strait pipe to 4" if you were towing?
Not a whole lot of difference....straight pipe got real loud in the cab around 2200 RPMs. The 4" MBRP with muffler is a little mellower, but there is a resonance in the cab all the time. Straight pipe was only a little louder than stock while cruising at about 2000 RPMs (about 70 mph for me).

Check out the AFE or MBRP systems, we stock them both and they are the best value going for fit finish and options like cat back, front pipe back etc etc. Call us and we'll be glad to help you on them.

Loosing the cat in your case will be a huge egt improverment 4'' even more since you are running a bigger program!
Thanks for the info on loosing the cat. I won't be running the big program while towing and will still probably run 4" when I get the money to do so. you had asked if the Bully Dog read DTC's, yes it does. If I had to do all this all over again I think I would go with EFI live because of the almost unlimited programming possibilities. The BD was a good one for updates and all but there is no forum for help.
