B&D, Don't understand how too large on a diesel will impede torque. Case in point...OTR 18 wheelers. 2 Straight pipes; exhaust system of choice; minimum restrictions. I can remember yaking on the radio, during my truckin days, and guys would talk about (illegally) taking their mufflers off and going to straight pipes to improve their ability to climb certain grades.

My 4010 has a straight pipe and runs like a scalded ape....like to hear it growl...thru my earplugs of course. Ha! Later Mark
