Downpipe

Jesse_01 · Apr 8, 2014

Is anyone currently running an aftermarket down pipe?
I see its double walled and possibly compressed down a little like the 6.4 had.
Does anyone make a true 4" downpipe?

I would do my homework on that one. If you are going to stay with the stock turbo, the turbo is more restrictive than the down pipe. If you are going to a after market turbo you will need a pipe that is custom made to your application. IMO

Do you have to cut the factory one to get it out like the 6.4?

Is it a c**ty install? Lol

I am up in the air when it comes to stock turbo vs going aftermarket. Part of me wants aftermarket but I have 125,000 miles and just over 6000hrs on the engine. Also its a build 1 2011. I have extended engine warranty. So I am waiting for something to go south so I can get a new engine than it would be turbo time.

That or break the tip off of the glow plug on the #5 cylinder and allow it to smash the exhaust valves. Look like a typical build 1 exhaust valve failure.
