I had an exhaust pipe break about 2 feet in front of a muffler due to rust. When I looked under the car, that 2 foot pipe (coming out of the muffler) is dangling towards the engine just waiting to catch something causing it to do a "pole vault" action and can cause big damage, possibly to my gas tank as the muffler rips away and bounces around under the car.
As some of May know, I've been battling an overeating issue with my 91 5.0 for a long time. My current exhaust pipes are 2".
Now that I have to replace these pipes, should i increase the size to 2.5 or 3" pipes? Would that help get heat out of my engine? What would it do to my back pressure?
I want to upgrade for better performance while at the same time getting rid of the amount of heat that is staying in my engine.
It's not overheating anymore but it still runs hot. After upgrading to A Frame gauges, my temp gauge reads just above 250° and stays there.
Would increasing my pipes help lower the temp?
