Custom made bellowed up pipes?

[Justin@DP-Tuner]

Has anyone ever tried making their own bellowed up pipes? Did it work?

I found the right bellows for about $30 a piece. That would make it about $60 to make your own bellowed up pipes. I would say that is a little more rational than $415+ for International ones.

wat material are they made of?? Sounds like a good idea.

304 Stainless. I am trying to think of any possible issues, but I don't see any. I would build my first set on a engine removed from the cab so it is easier to mock up. Then I could just replicate those if I ever wanted to make them for other people.

I made my own on my H2e kit, be about the same for a stock set up, just weld the collectors to the pipes rather then the joint.

Sounds good. Where could I find these bellows?? Thanks!

Have you had any issues with them?

Interesting, I've got 3 sets of stock up pipes I may try these on...

 

[CSIPSD]

If I had a stock turbo left I would make a set myself, but I dont.

How much you want for one of those sets?

Just in case I mess up I would like to have a backup lol

Do you have your stock up pipes?

 

[BigAlsPSD]

I do not plan on parting with them at this moment.

I have 4 or 5 sets of up pipes... Screw up yours, then call me. LOL

I think I am going to have to do this with the engine in the truck. I don't have access to a completely assembled 7.3 removed from the chassis.

I'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to just drop the tranny and work on it from there.

Thanks for the heads up JBone!

No problem. There are a bunch of different companies that sell them. They are all about the same price.

Does anyone know if the stock up pipes are SS? Also are the early up pipes the same as the later such as e99 compared to a SD. I have and extra set from and e99 and would like to try some for my SD's.

Make sure you disconnect your batteries before you go welding that close to the motor. I have heard of some bad things happenning. I have also heard people say there are no issues.
