After the turbocharger on a diesel there is not a lot of heat left over.
When driving at 60 mph under light load there is maybe 500'F EGT before the turbine and only about 400'F after.
On hills and during passing EGTs may climb to 600'F.
After that last turbocharger (if using more than one) you will want the exhaust be as free flowing as possible.
