Get the tuner with Hemifever tuning if you want more power. Get the exhaust if you want less power. The exhaust without tuning will lose power.

I did my exhaust for about $75 for just a muffler swap and very happy with the results. I won't be tuning as I have an extended warranty and don't want to risk any problems with it. The tuner will definitely give you more power where the exhaust is mostly for sound.

If you plan on having both I'd get the exhaust first. Then when you get the tuner you just tune it to the exhaust. Be patient daniel-san.

Unless he gets headers, changing out the cat-back portion of the system wont give much gains unless he changes the y-pipe.

Tuner all the way.

Just get the damned tuner, and a muffler only. Our piping is sufficient diameter and decently bent (except for the Y pipe) so the muffler gives all the sound and most of the benefit you need, and you can get BOTH. Call Matt NOW.:naughty:

Tuner is worth more but exhaust will sound better and ur tuner will benefit more.

Also noted you are running the Diablo Tuner on you Ram. Did you have any concerns or reservations about getting it due to it possibly voiding your factory warranty??

I havent done anything on my exhaust yet. I think im gonna do the muffler soon. then LT headers and the y pipe when i can. Gotta pay for a trip to greece so headers will have to wait.

Ill return it to factory If I have to bring it to a dealership to work on it. If they give me a hard time Ill find a dealership that wont big deal something that wasnt the problem
