Just bought a 06 2500HD LBZ. I want a banks exhaust and a programmer, I think the PPE, what are people running for gauges? Can you send me a link to some pics of gauges?

I have autometer gauges, PPE programer,and a 4 inch MBRP exhaust.
ISSPRO and Autometer gauges are popluar and ther both pretty much the same thing. ISSPRO's are simpliar and autometer has more of a selection (check there site). IIRC the banks exhaust is extreamly overpriced. I really like my MBRP. I got the stainless so it doesnt rust and also got the turbo or down pipe back exhaust. IMO removing the cat will add the most power. Some say removing the cat will cause the SES light to come on. Mine came on about 5 times in 15,000 miles and usually goes off after a few cylces of the key. Also, if your looking into a intake I installed a S&B on my tow truck and am extreamly impressed with it. Best bang for the buck id say!
Heres pics of my Autometer Ultra Lite II gauges. There silver during the day and black at night to help the glare.
Heres the exhaust as well

I have the Diamond eye 4" exhaust and a Diablo Predator programmer. I am happy with them thus far. I want to turn my Diablo up to 120 but I must upgrade the tranny first.

IMO the best exhausts are the Silverline and MBRP but thats just what i have used so far.
tuning,the Diablo,Quadzilla,ATS,PPE and EFILive are some of the best..
Gauges,AutoMeter always worked great for me and i run the Quadzilla Commander which is same as the Edge Attitude except you can run any tuning with it that you want too or if you don' want a programmer on it you don't have too either.

Gauges first. We use Autometer and Di Pricol here.
Next exhaust. Banks is a bit more money, but its stainless. DIamond Eye, MBRP, Silverline, all offer stainless as well and there really is not a huge difference in the kits.
Tuner - Well, this kinda depends on what you want the truck to do.
Transmission - if you look at a tuner over about 90-100hp then you will need to think about transmission upgrades. The Allison Jr kit from Transgo would be a great start. From there youm are looking at a considerably larger amount of work.

Ok, I am leaning toward a MBRP SS 4" pipe and a Stage 2 AFE filter. Now for gauges I want to monitor Boost, EGT (What gauge for EGT?) and what is the third gagues I usually see? What is the pyrometer?
pyrometer monitors egts, and boost is only other one you need your truck has a trans temp guage in the DIC.
