3 inch exhaust change

Post by Hombrey »

Hey I've got a turbo TD42 and when I bought the kit was told the 2.5inch exhaust would not restrict it at all so hooked into that but run only a single straight through muffler. Now I've heard 3 inch will deffinately free up some power? Anyone done this and felt any change? I run 1/2 a turn up on the fuel screw and about 13lb boost at present and intercooling shortly. Basically drive to my EGT's till I get the intercooler on.

Drone much with no muffler? I'm not into pretty shiny passive trucks but droning does get irritating on a trip. Whats it like?

Going to fit turbo soon, currently running 2 1/2" exhaust with single free flow muffler, the next step would be removing muffler if required before going to 3" but will only running 8psi boost max and 2 1/2" exhaust is the size with this kit so I should be right.
