I have my new 5" expandit turbo back exhaust, egr and cooler delete plates and the smarty.

I am currently working on this project and have the old exhaust off except for the downpipe.

Has anyone started their 6.7 in this configuration?

If I were to start mine to see how it sounded what precautions should I take?

I wonder what it would like? I have ran my 383 LT1 this way many of times at the track but am unsure of the diesel nature?

I have a short amount of time to **** off the neighbors as the new exhaust and other mods will be installed tomorrow.

Thanks,
GMB

 

it won't hurt the engine at all with just having the down pipe. not like a gasser.

 

wont hurt it at all maybe though a CEL but wont hurt any thing

 

Be sure to video tape it just in case the neighbors do come out. Should be funny to watch.

 

They better be irritable neighbors cause it doesnt get near as loud as the 5.9

 

I was not overly impressed with the sound with just downpipe. sounded kinda weak.

I finished the expandit 5", smarty me, EGR and Cooler delete, S&B intake today.

I am happy with the results. Starting to sound like a truck finally.

The idle sound leaves alot to be desired but once you give it some rpms and it comes to life.

Thanks for everyone that helped with this setup.

I can not believe how much crap I took off my truck today. I must have shed 50 pounds. I was amazed on the weight of the DPF. What a pile.

When I layed my new exhaust next to my stock exhaust, I was not surprised that my truck ran like crap before.

No more trips to the stealership for DPF related problems.
