Why did you move it away from the intake?

 

1. to eleminate 2/3s of the fittings i had.
2. to move the lines to the drivers side away from all of the exhaust, also alot shorter.
3. the fpr itself was getting to 150-170* after a 30min cruise. I did not like it getting that hot. Where it is at now, it gets to 120

 

Drove mine 3 hours to Phoenix in June last summer with the regulator under the intake and never had an issue! I don't doubt it was like 250 degrees lol

 

yeah, i sure it was fine there but i just did not like it getting that hot, plus it is alot simpler now.

 

Fair enough. Simple is always better.

 

Any track times? or just a street bruiser?

 

naw no track times... I just wanted a fun Daily Driver..

 

He hasn't learned that his gas pedal will touch the floor.

I made 2 small changes to my exhaust the other day that really helped.

First was fixing the leak on the drivers side exhaust manifold flange. I have been using high temp rtv but it always blows out in a few days/weeks. So i bought a remflex gasket. So far it is holding. That gasket is crushable so it seals pretty damn good.

Here is a link to it.

The second change was redoing my tailpipe. My previous pipe had alot of small radius 90*s. I bought some larger radius bends and made a new pipe.

Those 2 changes made the exhaust alot louder but the truck runs sooo much better.
