Down pipe question
A friend just bought a Bully Dog 3" downpipe 6 months ago for his 1997 CTD...
Decided he's going to put on a 4" downpipe then stacks up in the bed. Yes he changes his mind on a dime.
?????????????????????????????????????????
Will that 3" downpipe fit on my 2003 SO truck?
If I'm not mistaken, the '03 SO trucks have 2.5" exhaust start to finish?

Wow, I thought it was smaller for some reason...?
If you keep the stock downpipe and 4" it back from there - the DP is your bottle neck and then the gains would be marginal at best...?
And in all honesty, if I keep her stock, and only do the exhaust and maybe a better intake, am I really going to notice anything by the "seat of the pants" test??

Your hp gains will be very minimal, the exhaust and intake is more for keepin the trubo/pistons cool. But it will help your turbo spool up a little quicker wich should result in lower ETs.

My mistake...
This friend has a Bully Dog DP thats ((3.5" at the turbo - the rest of the pipe is 4" ...))
***So Now it seems to make sense to re-ask the question....***
Will a DP from the '97-'98 CTD fit a '03 with no major reconstruction work...?
Only reason I'm asking is that he wants it out of the garage- that translates into FREE....
