Default Towing with Diamond Eye downpipe

I know a Diamond Eye downpipe is more of a performance product, but how is it's longevity while towing?? To be exact, can it withstand 1200-1400* temps for 4+ hours of constant towing, over and over again??

Oh and can headerwrap sustain that same torture without burning into a big fireball??

Just ask'n....

you should keep a fire extinguisher handy, in case it does turn into a big fireball

The downpipe is the pipe that comes off the turbo and attaches to the front pipe of the exhaust. The stocker is restrictive, the Diamond Eye is nice free flowing.

No. I'm just on a quest for the lowest towing EGTs on a Dmax while keeping the cab as quiet as possible.
