exhaust question

[MBRPCrazyford]

you have to have some exhaust pipe after the turbo other wise to much stuff can get in the the turbo. This is when back pressure plays a role. you need atleast 8-10 ft of pipe for this not to happen.

OK thanks for the info. Never heard that before. Good ta know

you can run just a down pipe, but it gets old really quick. its stupid loud in the cab. i ran shorty under cab dump exhaust for almost a year, it slowly started to become annoying. when i put the exhaust out in front of the rear wheel, it was soooo much better in the cab. then i put it way out back by the stock dump location, and that is where it will stay, its so nice to hear the radio, and i can hear the other things going on under the hood now.

backpressure isnt going to keep stuff from going upstream, just rob power. you want the length of pipe to help the scavenging at low un-boosted rpms.

Lift up your skirt and grab'em if you got a pair. Listen I know I'm rollin' the dice but I raced a Bully tuned Dudge down I-64 for like 5 miles over 80+MPH, hitting 90+MPH at times the whole distance.....NO problems.

if YOU have a set, lift your heads and gawk at your cracked pistons. no problems.......YET! plenty of trucks are running down the road with cracked pistons. heat cracking is a slow process that starts at the edges of the combustion cup in the piston and grows until the cracks go through and leaks compression or the piston pukes in the cylinder.
