A friend of mine just picked up a nice early 2000s Superduty dually with a 7.3 for a welding rig and it has 4" exhaust with nothing but a mbrp muffler thats outside diameter is not much larger than the pipe...like the O.D. of the muffler is like 4.5"! On a 4 inch pipe it's barely noticeable. it also has a aftermarket cold air intake. And it is not loud at all, it really doesn't sound a whole lot different than a stock truck...? are the 7.3 PS engines know for not having a very loud exhaust note? I've heard really loud diesel trucks and this is not one of them, what more could you do to it to have a nice rumble other than remove a muffler that's likely not doing much muffling anyway or is that muffler way more restrictive than it looks?

Going to a 5" exhaust will make it louder, if thats what your friend is looking for. And/or straight pipe it with no muffler at all.

@TheBTRGarage3 жыл бұрын
Sorry for the late reply, didn't see this! I'd say it doesn't drone much if at all. It is not quiet, but you just hear smooth V8 engine rumbling at highway cruising speeds. MPG did not change that much, maybe 1-2MPG while towing. What really changed was just the effort of the engine to pull loads and get up hills and inclines. With the stock stuff the truck was constantly chugging and downshifting on even the smallest of hills. Once the parts were on you could just hear and tell the engine was breathing more freely, rarely downshifting. EGT pyrometer works out fine in the spot I put it in, you just have to be aware it might be a couple hundred degrees higher than if you had it in the manifold runner (where most put it).

I just installed this exhaust on my 2000 Ford F-250 SD 7.3L Powerstroke. This video made it very simple. Getting the stock system out wasn’t bad. The bolt on the V-band was a booger to get off and some threads were jacked up but tap and die fixed that. Installation was pretty simple-ish. The joints were still a little loose even after torqued down (any suggestions???). Also, I added a black tip for aesthetics, but it seemed pretty heavy for the length, so I cut the pipe a couple inches so it wouldn’t stick out quite so far and reduce the torque/leverage in the system. All in all, it took me about three hours start to finish. Thank you for the great video!!! It made the job less daunting.

Do you still like it? how is it towing at 70mph
@TheBTRGarage3 жыл бұрын
Yep, love it! It sounds great at tow speed, which for my truck is optimal around 77mph. Not too loud but you can still hear the V8 rumble. I'll be doing a video here soon where I take a look at how the exhaust has held up to the weather and general wear and tear since I installed it.

@@TheBTRGarage How is 77 mph an optimal tow speed? That’s not efficient at all, and certainly not safe with a trailer load.
@TheBTRGarage3 жыл бұрын
That's where engine RPM's, EGT's, MPG, and gearing is optimal with my truck and engine (when in a 75mph speed limit zone). If I go 70-74mph it hunts between gears, EGT's climb, and boost fluctuates. If I go even slower, it is not optimal again until about 60mph in 3rd gear. I'm sure it's different for different trucks. As for safety, I tow where I feel confident in the truck, and this truck easily handles that load at that speed. In my old F150, I wouldn't get anywhere near that speed because the trailer overwhelms the truck.

Howdy, I recently purchased a 97' F-350 7.3l. Like you, I am looking for efficiency and MPG gain. As its almost been 4 years, how much increase in MPG have you seen? Looked like this was about a 15-18 hour job- is that correct? Great video and thanks for your time.
@TheBTRGarage2 жыл бұрын
You won't see any MPG improvement with just the exhaust. Combined with an intake and tuner you get maybe a couple more MPG. That's been my experience. The exhaust makes the engine feel significantly less restricted and run smoother however.
@prescottwidly50062 жыл бұрын
@@TheBTRGarage Would you then recommend waiting on the exhaust and focusing on the intake/tuner? Is there a specific tuner you used that you like? Again, I am not looking for hp maximization or to be ripping around town. Simply interested in efficiency and MPG increase.
@TheBTRGarage2 жыл бұрын
@@prescottwidly5006 I would do both the exhaust and intake before the tuner. The engine needs to breath more efficiently, so those 2 things are recommended. Followed by the tuner, which efficiency is maximized by the bolt-on upgrades. I have a DP Tuner now, but would go with a PHP Hydra if buying today. In fact I'll probably switch to one soon. amzn.to/3CU0928

How did you come up with that location to install the egt probe? 9 out of 10 online videos show it in the drivers side exhaust manifold. Is the down tube a better location or is that just the location for a 7.3 not a 6.0?
@TheBTRGarage4 жыл бұрын
That's where the instructions tell you to install it, there or the manifold. It also talks about the difference in temps and to be aware of that if you install into the downpipe. I will be moving it to the manifold at some point, and will test the difference in temps compared to the downpipe.

How so? Just because it doesn't have the muffler/resonator? I agree it is probably better straight piped, but I can't imagine it is very significant. The muffler/resonator is pretty short and not very thick.
@bobzippyify4 жыл бұрын
BTR Justin don’t get me wrong it’s nice but if you got it tuned at all or plan to in the future it’s much better straight piped so the motor can breathe better. Even without a tuner you get a nice hp bump with the straight piped version. I got one on my 2000 7.3 and it’s honestly not that loud and it sounds good too.
