A little background on the entire situation...
I did some research for about a rear now and haven't actually found a actual fender exit exhaust that has been done to a PSD with stock turbo setup and functioning A/C.
Only one I've found was of a compound turbo PSD without A/C.
So I finally took the plunge and started the build.
Few questions people have already asked me....
Does it smell in the cab?
No, Even riding with the windows down I have yet to smell any exhaust coming into the cab. If the wind was blowing directly at the exhaust i could see that happening.
How loud is it?
With the windows down it is considerably louder but not enough to bother me, it sounds amazing.
With the windows up it is no louder then the engine itself, although you do hear the whistle much more.
What about soot?
I personally daily on my economy tune which barely puts out any black smoke even at WOT.
When on my race tune it appears to shoot the black smoke a decent amount away from the truck.
Ive been driving for a week now on the race tune and no noticeable amount of soot is on the truck, Practically wipes off with the dirt.
Does the fender get hot?
No, Not even the slight bit warm. The exhaust doesn't touch the fender so there is no direct contact and the exhaust is completely wrapped in heat wrap.
Here are some pictures, Took me roughly one whole day to finish this build using a 4" down pipe and tubing.
