That's about what I'm seeing, was curious what Ronin's because he has the upgraded down pipe that I've been thinking about... Thank you
Sorry, I missed the comment about the upgraded down pipe...
IMHO powerstoker67's (Sean @ SDP) downpipe (mine's ceramic coated) and the Spartan cold side charge pipe make a HUGE difference in EGTs. (I think Sean may make Spartan's cold side charge pipe for them, so I want to make sure I give credit where it's due...?)
They may not be a big deal power wise, but faster spooling and lower EGTs is always bitchin'! If you've ever seen the crimp in the factory downpipe you'd throw up a little in your mouth...and the crimp in the CAC pipe is likewise quite constrictive.
I'm not a physicist, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night...and any time you compress air it gets hotter, so getting some more ID back in those pipes makes a big difference, especially when you're adding fuel and boost to the equation!
Both those pipes are in my truck and my buddy's '08 F350 (Spartan tuned) and we both experienced a drop in EGTs of between 100-150 degrees depending on a variety of conditions. That's pretty significant.
Neither pipe is terribly expensive for what they are and what they do either, nor are they particularly difficult to install yourself (the downpipe is a little more challenging, but nothing a Sawz-All can't handle!) so now there's something else you need to budget for and must have!
