no cat on this car, its a diesel. Only form of emissions control I removed and it improved my mpg slightly. The EGR put so much crud into my intake it was disgusting.

I need to get an infared thermometer so I can point and get values.

The underside of my mercedes is very "dirty" not just from the oil and 24 years of road grime but all of the engine parts, exhaust, rear subframe and etc hanging all over I bet the belly pan will clean it up.

I just need to research how to fasten it to my car without ruining the car itself.

I think I can leave the first 4 feet of exhaust pipe uncovered since it comes right off the turbo and post turbo EGT's are somewhere around 600-700F, under load.I think some form of aluminum or thin steel will work there.

The bell pan is like step 3, step two is the front grill block, well, lower grill block since I need my grill un blocked
