Chips don't necessarily seem to go in combination with exhaust and intakes. Exhaust and intakes can go in combo, just like wheels and tires. But chips seem to come down to what suits your needs or desires. A lot of people seem to be going more towards the in-cab adjustable on the fly chips like the TS Performance chips, and the Banks 6-gun. But if you just don't need to go from stocker to shocker at the turn of a knob and just want a steady consistent extra few horses just get a handheld microtuner like superchips, or the diablo predator. Any chip is going to work to it's max potential on each setting once you've freed up the air's entry into and exit from the engine....

Hey smokin, I see you have the TS chip. I was checking it out today and I just had a few questions. I ilke the Banks and the TS. I want an adjustable chip. What is the highest setting you can run for everyday driving with the TS? What is the highest you can safely run without breaking stuff? I appreciate it.

Pro I keep mine on whatever tune I leave it on after cranking it up 140 for fun. Sometimes I just go down to 100, other times 75 or 50. I've had it on 75 for a couple of weeks now, and before that it was on 100 for a while. I bought it in late summer, and until we stopped weekend cruising due to the cold I ran it on the 140 setting for a couple hours at a time fridays and saturdays. But I drove it like normal, and just kept it there for blowing smoke and stuff. I would actually turn it down to 100 to race, as the 140 seemed to be more than my tranny would handle efficiently. I haven't had any problems in the 5 months i've had it on the truck other than occasional codes when I really run it hard for stuff like sensors reading high output and input, etc. It trips the light for excessive boost sometimes too cuz I don't have that one mod that bleeds off the excess so it won't trip the ses light...I need that. All in all i'm extremely satisfied with it and I reccommend it highly. Plus it's only 425 bucks.

Ok guys I have been looking and was wondering is the dual exhaust any better than single? does it give more power? or do people just get it for looks or sound?

[AYP Tires]

From what I've heard it's just for sound and looks. A singe 4" exhuast gets the job done just fine.

[overl0rd]

Duals would be strictly for looks and sound on both sides of the truck. If you think about it, there's only one exhaust outlet from the turbo. Scottytom's right, a single 4" setup does the job just fine.

Thanks. I just wanted to know before I purchase the single magnaflow kit.

[99Smokin73Stroker]

Well why don't you invest in the TS chip?
