It's been fun

Spent some time reflecting on myself and got to thinking...I'm 32 years old, I need to grow up. So I made the decision. It's time to put the DPF back on my 7.3 and put global warming first. I hope others follow me in this journey.

I actually don't hate it. Actually looks pretty good there. Just to close to the cab sound wise. 😂

Serious question, what the purpose of the slots on the exhaust tips on the Chevys and Fords?

Something to do with dissipating heat during a parked re-gen. I have driven big trucks that demanded I pull over and wait it out for 30-40 minutes while it did it's thing, and it gets hotter than hell. On the pickups I think only the Ford dealer can do a forced/parked regen. Maybe it's an option on the medium duty trucks.

Draws in cool air to keep exhaust temps down when regening. I believe when they first started putting dpfs on some of them were shooting flames out the tip.

Yeah, most people removed them in the early 2000s.

Seems a little throatier than plain 4". The install wasn't too bad except for the old sensor wires that have been dangling for years, threw a CEL, think it's the DEF pump.





The 6.4/6.7 systems that use this tailpipe are 3.5". At the tip it opens up to 4" ID. Cut the tip off and it slides directly over a 4" pipe, held in place with a couple welds but a clamp would probably work as well.
