I got it installed at a local industrial exhaust place near me, they sell the 45º bends, they did a nice job, pics in my gallery, it sits up nice and high.

You can also get 4" bends from UAP NAPA, but they're cheaper at the industrial place. If you know someone who welds that would be the way to go.

I saw a guy with a 'muffler delete' pipe on his truck, his offsets were close enough together he could use it to put a muffler on. I checked the one at Geno's, it doesn't look like it would work, the offsets are too far apart.

You'll like the Nelson if you get one, lotsa people aren't happy with their 'performance' mufflers on here, too loud.

No, there's a Cummins store near me, that's where I'll be getting my filters etc from, way cheaper than the dealers.
Check out their website for a shop near you:

My advice is to straight pipe it and leave the cat. If you don't like the sound without a muffler you can easily add one later on. It just sounds soooo perfect with a straight pipe. Not obnoxiously loud by any means.

I have to agree with Jrussell, the only problem I had with my muff delete was a little drone but I got used to it pretty quick, as I said it wasn't bad, plus it was cheap.

I just ordered my muffler delete from geno's this morning for mine. I talked to several muffler shops this weekend and they all said the delete sound real nice and the flow is much better. I had my MBRP 5" tip put on this weekend and it looks awsome peaking out behind the rear tire, so with the delete in place I think I'll be done with the exhaust portion of my truck, Have to move on to the intake side now. I' thinking AEM work horse at the moment.
