Cool... what would you recommend re: exhaust for a 5.9 n/a which had a
throttle body / intake upgrade
(like, say, a QuickD or similar setup) and nothing else? Would getting a
custom Y-pipe in addition help
things any? The reason I am asking:

I plan on going with the standard throttle body / intake / cat-back routine
for my truck, and am curious
as to what combination would be best for a decent (25+ rwhp plus whatever
torque) increase. I am
looking for a balanced solution, nothing too trick, as the only other mods I
have in mind are an ignition
upgrade and synthetic lubricants. Please keep in mind that I drive a 4x4 QC
(for fit/routing etc.).

Just want to let 'er breathe. Oh, and if anyone knows of a decent
performance shop in Austin TX
that is friendly to Daks, please let me know.

Thx in advance.
