Why is it on your bed?
You could prolly run your 5" back to a split 3" and maybe not have to pull your tire.
Agreed dual 3 will flow better than a 5 and you probably could keep the spare
This should be pretty damn cool, now don't take a year to update again lol.
Smaller exhaust will make EGTs go up. Flow really isn't that much of an issue with diesel. There's no dealing with having to compensate for back pressure sine the turba' is there.
I understand the no need for back pressure with the turbo, but I don't understand how splitting 1 5in into 2 3in will cause egt's to go up. With dual 3 in over single 5 will have more room for the exhaust to flow. Now I'm assuming you are going to split a 5 into dual 5 I just don't see the benifit from that sense the first 75% of the exhaust will be single 5 in. Im just trying to understand not be rude. I like being able to understand for future knowledge.

I don't agree with an increase in EGTs. However, flow is limited largely not by the size of pipe, but by the drag along the surface of the pipe.
A 5" pipe has a circumference of 31.42" where dual 3" would have 37.70"
So there would be more 'drag' as the exhaust tries to flow through the dual 3"s
That being said, I don't think it'd have ANY ill effect on EGTs
You know what sucks?
Being a visual learner.
******** do I feel like an idiot. When you guys said "dual 3" " I thought you ment:

As in running two SEPARATE 3" pipes from 5" to the 5" tips hahahaha.
