Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Does anyone else here have a pink exhaust manifold? I've seen this on a few trucks, some have it, many others are rusty though. These are stock trucks:
1996 2500 4x4 Reg Cab automatic- no pink, no cat(mine)
96 2500 4x4 CC 5 spd- pink exhaust manifold bolts, all else is rusty. No cat, dual exhaust. (brothers)
98 2500(12V) 4x4 QC 5spd- almost completely pink exhaust manifold and part of the turbo. Stock exhaust(with cat)(dads)
98 2500(12V) 2wd QC auto- good bit of pink on the exhaust manifold. stock exhaust. (moms)
I'd like to hear what everyone else has on theirs, really just curious what causes this, and if its the heat from the exhaust turning the color of the rust. My theory is the free-er flowing pipes on the first two trucks keep the metal from getting as hot. The only truck with a pyro is the third one, it has never gotten over maybe 950, post turbo that I know of(23 lbs boost). I plan to get gauges for the first truck soon.
