Exhaust measurements

I just checked the diameter of my factory exhaust. It measures 2.36" dia (60mm). Going up to 3" would be a big difference.

Dave,

Thanks for the correction. I was misinformed to the max boost on the Mercedes. I don't have a gage on the car, nor have I checked its pressure. Pyro and boost gages only on the Scout for...

I ditched the muffler when I did the 3" exhaust on the Scout. It made the exhaust note sound like a big truck, but not overly loud. I would still run a high flow muffler on the wagon if I go to 3"...

Ridge,

We don't have any specific numbers off a dyno--yet. It is more of a seat of the pants feel that a number of us Scout Dieselers have noticed.

My buddy is pretty set on getting a 6X6 Pinzgauer. The transmission and transfer case are separated by an 18" driveshaft. This is easier to adapt to than a Mog (and cheaper!). The only issues are...

Hi Mario,

I was also told to use ATF in my diesel Scout. It smelled like I had an auto trans on fire all the time! It didn't really help my engine much either. I have found that Lucas fuel...
