Straight piping=better mpg?
Ok, so i've been seeing folk on other sites say you can get better mpg's with straight piping a diesel. Anyone actually know this true for a fact? I already wanted to straight pipe it, but would love a couple extra miles a gallon on top

I suppose removing the back pressure created by the muffler might add a TINY bit of better fuel economy, but I can't see how it would add even 1 mpg. Sounds like people who want a loud straight pipe justifying their mod to me.

may see one (max) mpg if that was the only change. its best paired with a programmer to get full effect.

Yea, haha, i'm guilty of doing stuff to my F-150 and justifying it with a reason lol. And good, i'm already preparing to buy a programmer. Just still stuck and confused in the huge market of them. I have no idea which is best

The Cummins actually "likes" a little back pressure to run right. You see them all the time with the 5" monster exhausts or 6" stacks and they are dogs off the line. From what I have heard, the turbos don't spool as quick if there is no back pressure, but I don't know that for sure.

Well, if you had a DPF I would say yes, for sure. But with your 24V I would say it would be minimal at most. But boy I sure love the sight of a straight piped cummins rollin some coal
