RE: Exhaust system advice
All right, gents... let us know how it goes.
Hey, try it in that big cropduster of yours, too. I'd do one engine at a time, though, just to be safe. Or maybe one per side? Since you'll be upping the output levels due to the polishing action, if you were to just do one or both on the left side, for example—crazy!—it'd probably pull to the right pretty hard. Adjust flight plans accordingly.

RE: Exhaust system advice
The alchohol content in Jim Beam is way to high and as such will evaporate before it makes it to the thru the turbo. We use Shiner Bock down in these parts, it's only 5% and has fine lubricity qualities. I have been using the "Water Bong" method here lately and it works great.
It prety simple to set up. Go to home depot and buy a 6x 8 foot sheet of heavy gage plastic. Then go to you nearest Marine parts store and but a 500 GPH Bilge pump. Line the bed of your truck with the plastic and mount the pump near the cab, in the bottom of the bed.
Run the hose from the pump thru a 1" hole drilled thru the bed. Find the best routing to get to the exhaust manifold and drill a 9/16" hole and tap between each cylinder. Use a 3 wayT spitter that can be found at home depot also and install nipples into the manifold. Run the 3 lines off the splitter to the manifold nipples and your done. Now you just need to install the togle switch on the dash and your good to go.
Your bed will hold aprox. 500 gallons on water, with the 500 gallon per hour pump you'll be able to run wide open at 3000 rpm's with 700 hp for an hour straight. EGT's will never get over 250 f and you'll have plenty of back pressure. And talk about smoke??? Who needs it with all the steam you'll be putting out. You will be capable of creating your own weather system in the right conditions!
