sparky1562 07-31-2008, 12:44 PM Passenger side exhaust IMO. Search for the hoot method over in the exhaust forum. duramax1031 07-31-2008, 01:20 PM i have another question..i dont any gauges or anything and i was wondering if it was a good idea for me to get a egt gauge.I pull trailers every now and then and i just got a Superchip 2705 and where would i put the gauge cuz i dont want to get a pillar.Straight piped exhaust Tolliwacker 07-31-2008, 01:39 PM If running a programmer, it is HIGHLY recommended to install a EGT gauge especially when towing, and keep the programmer on the tow safe mode.; I had a superchips, and it would get high on the EGT's if I was not watching it! Also there is a mount to mount it on top of the dash as well. duramax1031 07-31-2008, 01:45 PM where at?...g/f doesnt like the pod so i have to find out where to put one...what is a cheap gauge? thj327 07-31-2008, 02:17 PM thanks for the input. i have a 4" straight pipe exhaust for sale if an one is interested? asking 200.00 paid 300.00. no downpipe. shortcircut65 07-31-2008, 02:56 PM g/f doesnt like it so your not doing it?! will someone please tell me what is wrong with the picture? haha. Ken duramax1031 07-31-2008, 03:05 PM im whipped lol jk sounds like it tho...and i dont have like 300 to spend on gauges and everything...i want a cheap egt so i dont hurt anything Tolliwacker 07-31-2008, 04:03 PM Trade the G/F and get what YOU want. Look to Sleaze bay for the cheap gauges. richard cheese 07-31-2008, 04:40 PM you can get an autometer z series pyro for under 120 to the door on ebay duramax1031 07-31-2008, 05:01 PM thats not bad how hard is it to put in? sparky1562 07-31-2008, 10:23 PM Drill hole it exhaust manifold carefully, tap it to accept the probe, run the wires throught the fire wall, tap power for the module and mount it up under the dash. Run the lines to the gauge and mount it. Did my pillar mount in a couple of hours, not counting painting the pillar and letting it dry. I like the pillar! (installed it before the wife knew what I was doing! Same for the exhaust! "Honey, did you do something to the exhaust, it sounds louder?" "No, I haven't noticed anythin...":D) JD4440 08-01-2008, 12:07 AM Moved to exhaust upgrade forum. Search is your friend. thj327 08-01-2008, 07:54 AM is it best to mount it in the downpipe? and what is the best place to put the boost gauge fitting at. Alienshm 08-03-2008, 02:12 AM I just ordered a boost guage and a pyrometer from glowshiftdirect.com got both of them to my door for 150 and the pyrometer came with the prob and all. dcrzfitter 08-03-2008, 01:52 PM I allso didn't like the pillar gauge pod. check out the trippin overhead gauge pod. I have one and love it!! You will see allot of other have it as well. Make sure you get the egt gauge with enough length. If you called n I'm sure he would help you get everything you need. Do a search for the Trippin gauge mount and check it out. oh and he is a vendor on this page. Kris | ||
