What can an exhaust system do?

my 2.8 sounds like a smallblock at idle lol

What exhaust is or is NOT behind it now? Or do you have the typical 2.8 permanent intake leak? I had an '84 S-10 that sounded tougher under the hood than at the tail.

Very nice doc!!! Gotta love the black diesel smoke... I once saw a guy who had a dodge with dual stacks out at the local off road park here and he would literally stand on the throttle and it would send a solid black cloud for as long as he stood on it and when he let off the cloud lingered for minutes before finally disapating into the air...

Thanks. I'm running a very tame tuner right now. A comp box, injectors and a hybrid turbo and it would act like the one you saw.

full exhaust, flowmaster 40 series, single in, dual out. #4 piston is chipped pretty bad.. still fires though, just have to take the plug out every once in a while and replace it or clean it with carb cleaner because of blowby hahah

Rite on doc... I know nothing about diesel's I though he just had it running really rich or something... And I didn't think it was healthy for a turbo to spool up when the vehical's not moving very fast? But hey what do I know... right! LOL

Looking great Josh! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you got it back together without much trouble!
