Opinions on Diesel Exhaust???

[Caleb]

Well, I found out the other morning when I fired up my truck I have an exhaust leak. I noticed it smoking (usual white smoke) from up by the engine kinda right where the exhaust routes. My question is, is it worth it for me to upgrade and get this exhaust form here ( http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=206886 ) $425 for a complete system doesn't seem too bad. Or would it be better to just get the leak fixed. A little more info, my truck has 263K on it so I am not looking to add a chip, etc...but the larger exhaust will also help me run cooler while towing, correct?


BTW, incase you didn't figure it out this is on a 7.3L PSD

I saw that PBB also. Its a good price. Better then I have seen in town. I say do it why fix it when you can improve it

I would do it!!!
If not to just fix the leak to bring those temps down...
I would recommend the Magnaflow stuff but there kit is way more.
I love mine since magnaflow put there kit on my truck it took my temps to 6-8 max when I used to run around 9-1000 huge difference and I did notice a pickup of pep as well.

How does your exhaust system look over all? Mine is looking pretty ragged with only 70K on it. Buy one for mine while you are at it..
