Long trip, product reciew
1550 miles from Spokane to Las Cruces. Let me just say that I was a little overweight (25,200lbs)gcvw. I weighed before leaving town but what could I do? I know, please no flames. Anyway, Dual 4" exhaust from Northwest Custom was great. Sounds great looks great. Comp box with wire tapped kept me at 65 even up decent grades. Yes I could go faster but with my weight I wanted to keep it slower. Towing I had set on 3x5 and I never saw egts above 1185F. Is this normal? Seems low to me but thats what the SPA read. I dont have injectors though. The BD remote exhaust brake saved my bacon. I made the mistake of going through Box Canyon in CO and I would be in the canyon somewhere right now without that brake. The shifter mounted remote switch was nice. Mileage through the hills and with winds avg 10.2 mpg and most of the somewhat straight aways avg'd 12.6, this was manually figured by gallons used by the way. Not bad for the weight I'd say. Sorry such a rough report but I'm tired and wanted to post a little something. EGT's right? wrong? please let me know.
