start the engine and allow it to
warm up. Drive the vehicle, listening
for any exhaust leaks or rattles. adjust
and tighten clamps or reposition the
piping if required. when positioning of
piping is finalized, it is a good practice
to place tack welds at any slip joints
in the exhaust system to prevent
slippage.
Note: the exhaust may smoke slightly
after initial startup. this is normal and
will go away shortly as the grease
used in the bending process burns off
the inside of the piping.
we recommend that the exhaust gas
temperature eGt not exceed 1100°F at
the outlet of the turbine housing and
that engine oil temp not exceed 250°F.
optimum oil temperature is around
230°F.
Note: optional (eGt) oil temperature
gauge are available from Gale Banks
engineering.
