Metal flakes in DNP manifold

[Hiitman]

I had an exhaust shop tap one of my runners for an egt probe. Problem is they didn't clean all the metal flakes out. What would be the best way to do this? Would the exhaust pressure from installing the manifold (just the manifold, no turbo) and turning the car over a couple times blow all the flakes out? Or should I blow some compressed air through it?

Yeah I would just use some compressed air and blow it all out.

All I got to say is I wouldn't go back there anymore. Can you try a shop vac and vacuum the pieces out?

In my opinion, i dont see any major concern with tiny metal flakes in the exhaust system , i doubt it will damage the blades on the turbo and or damage the o2 sensor, but if you must i would just unplug the coil or whatever and turn it over a couple of times , should be enough the get the flakes past the turbo , my 2 cents

I would just hit it with compressed air, the manifold will flow well so the flakes will come right out.

Doesnt anyone know that most people tap for an EGT while idling so the exhaust will just push the flakes out as its drilled? Turbo on and everything.

+1 done this several times with no ill effects

Well I didn't know that. But now I do.

+1 it seems to be the accepted way with all the duramax, powerstroke upgrades too

Exactly what I've read before too.
