I'm hating my mds these days....
I have had my truck now since november 2005....and 123,000 miles...and officially i am sick of my MDS...with my longtube headers and MDS combo...i've narrowed something down to MDS being the culprit....anytime Im on the HWY and my MDS kicks in for awhile...it cools the engine down but not the headers...so with the temperature difference it loosens the header bolts....so for the last couple days i've been hearing a tick.....today it was really bad....so i got off my lazy butt...and looked under....hell one of the bolts had to be atleast an inch out...almost falling out.....grrrrrrr...time for a diablo for the MDS delete.

Did you install the headers properly. Hand tighten when cool, then get it as hot as you can, then re-torque while hot?
That usually keeps 'em tight, not forever, but at least good between oil changes.
And yeah, the Diablo is a good choice for you. Poor choice for an 05< but a solid choice for an 06+...
