Running an FU without an exhaust upgrade

Hey Guys I'm looking at getting an FU chip only question is I haven't upgraded to a 4 inch exhaust yet. It is in the plans but can't buy it all at once. I have installed all the guages (EGT, Trans Temp, Boost) will I be ok just going with the chip for a while as long as I keep an eye on my EGT's I was figureing I would just run the low hp tunes such as 20 hp tow 60 daily driver until I do the exhaust.

Any experience or reccomdations running without and upgraded exhaust

No problem using stock exhaust!

As with any modified diesel you need to keep EGT's in check, but this should not even be an issue.

Mine works great, only exhaust mod is muffler delete.

As long as there isnt a cat/stock muffler in the way you're fine.. i can nail 1200* if i try real hard.. but dont worry.. just watch your pyro!
