Default Whats your EGT's?

Hi everyone. I just replaced my stock exhaust. I noticed that my EGT's seem pretty high (to me). So I was wondering what
everyone elses EGT's run. Crusing along about 55 MPH the edge attitude monitor says I am running between 600 and 700 Degrees.
Is this normal? Could the new muffler be causing too much backpressure? I can't tell you what I was running with the old rusty falling
apart exhaust I had on there before the new cause I can't remember. The replacement exhaust is from an exhaust shop, but is the
direct OEM replacement. Thanks for your help.

I'd say that I'm somewhere around 700 or so at that speed with my EGT probe mounted post turbo

I've seen the needle touch 1500* with the probe mounted between the two hottest cylinders, #5 and #6. Needless to say, I backed off right when I saw that. Just about needed a change of drawers after that one.
