I fianally got around to ordering an exhaust from Dale @ Tymar Performance. He is a very nice guy, and knows what hes talking about.

So my plans for the weekend is to install my 3x4" down pipe, my full 4" exhaust, no cat, the muffler, and a 5" polished SS tip.

Gut the EBPV.

I also ordered a boost gauge, and a gauge pod, and i got a pyrometer off of ebay as well. so I will be installing that when it comes in.

I got a Banks Boss Hoss chip from hitechredneck, so i will be installing that this weekend as well.

i will be installing my hitch this weekend too.



I talked to cory about installing the chip, but does anyone have a link, or know where theres a how to site showing step by step how to install the chip?


also have any other links or insite on how to install the gauges post that too.....


thanks in advance....

you will find that the Banks chip will get you fairly high EGT's because of older programing, however it will work pretty well for you, later on a 4pos chip from Wildman would be your best bet later on.

Amen to that. My old banks chip ran 150-200* hotter EGTs than even the old dieselpower chip I had towing. If you can, use stainless steel exhaust band clamps to assemble the exhaust system. They seal up really well and do not put a crimp into the exhaust pipes. Makes disassemly a cinch. Disadvantage is they are about $10 each. Available from NAPA and other fine parts stores as Easy-Seals.

any one have a link showing how to install a chip?

That's the page I used to install mine, wasn't as big of a deal as I thought. If you have any questions PM me or just ask, I just did mine a few days ago. What a difference! Whole new truck!

ok thanks......


how do you think that chip will be towing a 30' camping trailer?

thanks

I haven't towed anything with the chip yet but the power will definetly be there. I can tell this already that you are going to have to watch your egt's very carefully. At a dead stop with no load I can screech the tires when I take off in the tow setting. This old truck never knew how to do that before. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

It sounds like you got the same system I got many moons ago. I assumed the tip would clamp on, didnt even ask Dale about it. Wrong. Thankfully, my buddy who let me use his shop/lift to install the exhaust system also had a welder /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[gilroyracing]

^^ ooo its a weld on.... he never said that haha.

 

[94strokerace]

My tip had to be welded on, just a heads up.

 

[gilroyracing]

thanks for the heads up!

 

[clayc_989]

I ordered my exhaust from him and it came with a clamp for the tip...Maybe he updated things?

 

[gilroyracing]

i hope so.

 

[94strokerace]

My particular tip wasnt designed for a clamp, it had to be welded.

 

[gilroyracing]

my exhaust was supposed to show up today...... its not here yet...

 

[gilroyracing]

My pyrometer and gage pod showed up yesterday, and my exhaust showed up today, so im still waiting on my boost gauge to get here, i think it will show up either mon. or tues.


but if everything goes as planned, i will have the exhaust on tomorrow, with the chip and pyrometer installed.

 

[gilroyracing]

I got the exhaust on... will post a couple pics shortly....

waiting for my boost gauge still. When that shows up i will install the chip and the other gauges.

 

[94strokerace]

What kind of tip did you recieve? How did the install go?
