I will be looking to buy a module and exhaust system of some sort for my truck within a week after I get it.

This particular exhaust system by Western Diesel caught my eye but im not sure if it would be the best one to buy.

I want excellent looks and performance topped with killer sound.

As far as the modules go, I have been looking at the juice boxes and I have heard of several different versions here on this site. I have no idea what all the versions mean and which one I would need for my application. I want big bang out of the truck.. I want it to run like a scalded dawg without having any problems.

I have seen the ez amp and duramaximizer modules as well but in all reality, I have no idea which would be the best to buy. Can any of you give me the run down of pros and cons of each box?

The most I will be towing with the truck anytime in the near future would be a 21 foot boat weighing in at about 5k lbs with trailer. Hardly a heavy load for the max..

What do you guys recomend?

Lastly, are there any Virginia max owners with modules on their trucks that I may be able to meet up with for some first hand experience?

Thanks.

Chris

Can you please edit your sig file to fit the box?? It causes the posts to have to scroll left to right.

Thanks

Get The EDGE - "HOT" Juice v4.61.

IMHO there is no substitute for the real thing, although Toddster is smacking down 230hp extra with a Van Aakan something or other :eek:

Let's see what breaks first.

Dmaxerado, I will shoot you my number, you are more than welcome to call me....Just for the record, you called my set up "killer" and thats exactly what it is if not driven with extreme care....EGT's can be scary and trust me the Alli is very scared ! Even with an Alli fix EGT's are your next problem, and I'm not quite sure how you would get them low enough for everyday WOT runs....I don't want to see ANYBODY hurt thier truck, not even Mackdaddy ! Any 120hp program at the present time is enough and safe as far as we know, I am just a freak, please consider this when reading my posts ! :eek:

Right on Todd!!! ;)

I am in the middle of fully restoring a project car for my cousin who also lives in Enfield Ct. I was born in Norwalk many years ago. As soon as the car is finished I will most likely be towing it back to him in CT. Perhaps we could hook up then to slam a couple beers and burn some rubber!! :D

I am a bit of a freak as well!!

notice my interest in 300 Rear wheel hp 475 lb motorcycles!!! :D

Wheelies at 150+ mph are killer too!!! :eek: :eek: :D
