The latest craze with the full-sized heavy duty truck crowd is bolting on the latest power modifier and trying to squeeze a couple more horses from their late model diesel engines. A bolt on here, a computer tweak here, and you have the makings of a tire shredding, pavement pounding monster. But, let's face it, not all of us want to be replacing the back tires on our trucks every other weekend, so there isn't much need for the average Joe to be investing in new injectors and stronger rods to handle the massive amounts of power these diesel engines are capable of. Sticking to basics of powering up a diesel engine is probably the safest and easiest power gains you will get, and simply adding an air intake and exhaust will work wonders for your truck.

That being said, MBRP, a premiere diesel truck exhaust manufacturer, now builds a 5" turbo back exhaust system that was probably the easiest installation we have ever tackled. On a scale of one to ten with ten being an incredibly hard installation that required power tools and hours of your time and one being something that can be done in under 30 minutes with simple hand tools, this kit easily scores a two, simply being that the original exhaust system might give you a few problems. The guys at DI Performance in Houston Texas did our installation, and having performed more than a couple installations said that this kit was by far the easiest one they had ever installed. In fact our donor truck, a 2005 Dodge 2500, was in and out of the shop in less than 20 minutes.
