Your thinking you're going to get more power with the straight pipe right?
Wrong.
You've read to many truck magazines. Todays diesel trucks are restricted in all sorts of ways and opening them up will make them breathe better and have more power. Your tractor is not restricted much at all, opening it up will do nothing other than make it loud.

As an aside those 500hp diesel truck guys, they don't usually like to mention how often they have to put in new transmissions and in 5 years the frame is bent like a pretzel and they can't align the truck so it scrubs off tires every month. They truck manufacturers now are in a bind because the engines are so powerful that everything else becomes a limiting factor. The Allison transmissions are great and tough so now they snap the transfer case or strip out the rear end or twist the frame...

I know you're young and the mags are so cool looking but remember at some point you might want to drive the thing rather than look at it and think how cool you are. A girl on a date with you isn't going to care how cool your truck is for more than 2 minutes and if it breaks down she'll remember that forever.
