Just spent some money on the truck prior to a 1,200-mile trip around Scotland.
Exhaust system was blowing, and a bit rotten at some of the joints so fitted a S/S Janspeed high-flow twin pipe system. Had to cut the rear skirt very slightly to accomodate the pipes, but it sounds MONSTER. Not rowdy, but a lovely deep V8 rumble and idle and under load... highly recommended.
Just one potential problem... the gas consumption round Scotland was grim. Even cruising at 60 could not get above 19.6mpg (can normally get 25-28mpg at that speed). However, it might have been the top box drag factor.
Anyone know - will the "high-flow" system need any tuning/chipping or should the motor run fine? It goes great, with no loss of performance or smoothness.
