I like having my exhaust backpressure gauge, but right now its just a loose gauge by my gear shifter.  My cheap-o glowshift pyrometer gauge crapped out (I still have the Edge pyrometer which is the one I monitor) so I'm thinking of replacing the pyrometer gauge in my A-pillar pod with an exhaust back pressure gauge to clean things up and make it easier to see.  From what I can tell, the only difference between a mechanical air pressure, boost, or exhaust pressure gauge from Autometer ore Isspro is the letters on the face of the gauge and the exhaust back pressure gauge comes with a length of copper tubing (which I don't need because I have a stainless part that came with my exhaust brake).

 

Does anybody have any input on this?  I'd like to do a bunch of things in one go to save time (and the new cd player I am getting has a bluetooth mike that I will have to run down the A-Pillar).  I might also try to do my headliner if I can find the material and what glue to use.

 

Thanks!

The coil is to help cool down the hot exhaust gases before it reaches into the gauge and inner tubing. Outside of that there isn't any difference between the two that I'm aware of. 

 

But you will need to cool those gases down.

I'll take a picture of my A pillar on my lunch. The truck had a 2 "pod" A pillar setup when I bought it but none of the gauges worked. I had this suction cup/magnetic phone holder (scosche brand), 2 open slots, a Roto-Zip if anyone has seen one of those before they are awesome for cutting holes in plastic stuff such as an A pillar. I had a stereo with a mic but never mounted the mic. I borrowed the fiance's wood burning kit and used it to melt the phone holder to my A pillar and stuck the magnetic plate it came with to the back of my Edge. Used the rotozip to cut a hole for the mic and edge cables. I think it turned out sweet. I still need to sand it down and paint it to match but I like it. Only thing I might do would be consider putting the mount in the upper of thr 2 holes.
