I have a nearly stock early 99, with a 6speed. I do have a chip in the truck, that was put in about 20yrs ago. I believe it is a 40hp. If I remember correctly nothing bigger than the 40hp chip was recommended until a larger exhaust was installed. Sorry, that I am so long winded. Any advise or recommendations will
Be greatly appreciated.
While it is recommended that the exhaust systems always be upgraded, it is not an absolute requirement. Early 99 vehicles are capable of making up to about 100 HP. Power level selection is dependent on what the vehicle is being use for. You wouldn't use 100 HP tune for heavy towing as the EGTs would become unmanageable, but for daily driving it would work great.

I hope this helps.
