This one is for you guys that are running an MBRP exhaust system. Does the downpipe come with a fitting in it for a pyrometer? I know pre-turbo is the right way to do it, but I may just go post turbo for simplicity.

no they don't but to tap and drill the manifold is not hard at all there is plenty of room on drivers side to do it just don't try to run the tap with a cordless drill ( don't ask, stupid move, hand thread its easy.) I've done 3 of em. 2 7.3s and a 6.0

Its not that bad to put the probe in the manifold and the mrbp dp doesnt come with a fitting.

Thanks for the replys guys. After sticking my head in the fender well and checking things out, I see there is a good bit of room.

Not a problem there, I got access to a brand new Snap-On open front alignment rack and 2 post lifts. :sweet
Does the position of the thermalcouple probe in the manifold effect the temp. reading? What I mean is, if the probe comes straight in the back of the manifold versus up from the bottom, will it effect the reading?

No effect on the temp.;tu
