I do not like the fact that the EGR system heats up my intake manifold.
That said, it just occurred to me, why not use an expansion chamber to cool down the exhaust gases before they enter the plenum.
This might be a stupid idea since I've stayed up much too late for work, and I'm too lazy to look up diffuser equations right now but basically, cooling the EGR gases adiabatically (in other words, by expansion)?
Possibly even rigging up a chamber with fins both on the inside and outside to help it out.
My thoughts are that I want to run the EGR to a chamber, so I can run just silicon tubes to the custom manifold I'm making (or possibly IRTBs). I worry that If i have flexible tubes straight out from the EGR valve that it will be much too hot and burn through the tubes.
