OK, NOW THAT WE HAVE DECIDED IT'S BETTER TO REPLACE THE CAT WITH A NEW DOWN PIPE FROM AN LB7, does anyone know what that does to EGT's?:eek:

: NO CAT, DOES THAT LOWER EGT"S? HEMIEATER 02-21-2005, 05:00 PM It will lower your EGT's. 8shot 02-21-2005, 06:30 PM dropped mine almost 200 deg. at cruising speeds. waiting to see with trailer hooked up. briano 02-21-2005, 09:45 PM Vertical escape, do you mean JUST the front pipe and no other modification? or do you mean a complete exhaust? when I did the complete exhaust my temps went down almost 200 degrees. This time around I have only done the LB7 front pipe with the stock muffler and I don't really see too much of a difference except for 20 degrees or so. It ran fine while I pulled a 5k load. The only real noticable thing is the whistle on the turbo is much louder. I am hoping to see cooler temps and maybe some mileage increase. we'll see. 8shot 02-22-2005, 10:49 AM complete mbrp 4 inch briano 02-22-2005, 11:38 AM complete mbrp 4 inch oops, sorry I was directing that question at the thread author, Vertical... MiDmax 02-25-2005, 02:54 PM Vertical-escape, I just killed the cat with the LB7 pipe. I love it! I've noticed about a 20 degree drop in EGT's at cruising speeds also. I'm talking my everyday driving 70 mph highway. And I love the new sound the beast has. It has to be one of the easiest mods out there. :exactly: DirtAndSand 02-25-2005, 09:49 PM All the threads I looked up said they seen lower EGT's..... It would make sense, less restrictions to slow exhaust allowing the heat to build up. Gray Max 02-25-2005, 10:19 PM I'm going to run 4'' straight MBRP exhaust on the 05. Mufflers and Cats are for girls. LOL | ||
