I am upgrading to a larger exhaust, 5 inch turbo back, will I need to have my DP re burned to accommodate this?

No reburn needed, you will get better EGT with the bigger exhaust. I don't see anything in your sig about exhaust, so I guess you have stock now.

I'm guessing your running stock exhaust now? It would be interesting to see how much your egt's will drop when you put the cannon on (mine dropped about 150-200 degrees with a 4" exhaust). What are you EGT's running 65 mph?

My new one is an MKO performance 5" exhaust. I'm not sure what my egts are because I haven't hooked the probe up yet, I've been waiting on the exhaust so that I can just do it all at once.

You do know that the probe goes in the Manifold, or the Uppipe, and not the new exhaust, right? (not tryin to be a smartazz, but dont want you to make a mistake.)

From a purely "practical" perspective you probably don't have to change your DP tune, but from a purely "technical" perspective, going to a larger exhaust will lower the EBP some, and the reading from the EBP sensor is used to help determine the fueling in a DP tune, so you might want to check with Jody.

"In addition to controlling the EBP valve, real time data from that sensor is employed in two PCM tables that control fueling."

Disconnecting the EBP sensor isn't a good idea!

Yes I am aware that the probe goes into the manifold. I will check with Jody to see if I need to have it reburned.
