i run php tunes, NOOOO BLACK SMOKE WHAT SO EVER! so i dont worry about that

heat isnt a issue, i tow all the time, mowers every weekend, skidloaders and no heat issues

the side dump is loud a he'll and has a deep sound in the cab to where you cant carry a converstion on in the cab going up a hill. the turbo sounds good.

super easy to do, took off before muffler and flex piped it out and put a tip on it.

Since your new, the caps lock is on the left.

If you like the looks of the side exit exhaust (I perdonaly don't) then go for it. I wouldn't worry about the heat on the tire/brakes, but even w/o tunes I still think you'll notice some discoloration.

By the time you pay someone to do the side exit exhaust you would easily have the price differance to and over the axle setup. Its fairly simple to do a side exit if you have access to a welder.




edit- you beat me charlie-2!
