Superduty downpipe

[rpm-inc]

I will be converting a 95 over to a superduty turbo setup. Manifolds, bellowed uppipes, pedestal, and precision drop in turbo. Will a superduty downpipe work without too much trouble? I can make it into a 2 piece with a vband.

A 4" pipe won't fit if that's what your referring too.

No, just an oem superduty downpipe.

An oem DP will fit, but you will still need to "massage" the fire wall by the lower pinch weld for clearence. No big deal, a porta power and 2x4 or a hammer and ur all set...

A 4" will fit but is not worth the hassle of making it fit! Trust me I did it to mine, and that's only cuz I'm shooting for big power... Do a search on here and you can see the pics I posted of what's needed.

Massaging ot surgery? I've done 2 trucks and getting close to doing another. To use a SD 4" downpipe it takes surgery.

I'll dig up a pic.

pics of my last one. No amount of massaging would have gotten enough room.

for a 4" yes its surgery... I did that also.. a stock super duty DP is 3" most aftermarket ones are 4"

My bad. I completely missed the 3rd post about a stock SD downpipe. Anyway the pics are for a 4" aftermarket SD downpipe.

I built my own home-brew 4" exhaust, and it was a COMPLETE PITAzz....

does cool better tho....we air sawed out the firewall, and installed the pipe, then built a steel cap for the firewall....
I used a standard short 90 degree bend from NAPA, and a long 45 degree bend I got from a truck shop.....used a slip-together joint in the middle,
about where the 3" aftermarket pipes do, witha 4" stainless band clamp. I'm still using a stock style turbo, so had to fab the end to go from 4" down to 3" at
the turbo. cut the end of the 3" downppipe I had on there off and used it over....and fabbed a plate that was 4" in diameter, with a 3" hole slightly offset in it......
mocked it up and tacked it. works very well.

it was not fun..... I suggest that if you are wanting to do this, do a 2" body lift first ....
