downpipe mbrp
Well, I got the mbrp downpipe to work. Im guessing the one mr.diesel used would have been easier...I had to use the mbrp in reverse so to speak. I didnt get the flange welded on in a way that would have made the pipe go past the fire wall in the "sweet spot" So I had to do some extra work on the firewall. Basically had to cut it out and then I fabricated some sheet metal to cover the hole I made.
Just from driving around I think I reduced egts another 100f. I picked up between 200-300f already from the hypermax cowl and another 100f from the downpipe. Yeap, im happy. I have another wheeling trip coming up so before I turn up the fuel or adjust the wastgate anymore, Ill see how she does pulling.
Here are some pics, if anyone cares:

I had to cut out the firewall because I couldnt beat the firewall far enough back:

Patched it up with some sheet metal. Not the prettiest welds..but it was tight and the metal was thin it was late and I was on my 8th beer.
