Hey Guys i know i haven't been here in a while, been busy with school and a real job now, and i had to get rid of a big burden in my life

anyways, My truck needs an exhaust from the turbo to the back of the t-case badly.

I got a 4" DP from diamondeye, I wanna order the 4" pipe to go around the T-case from diamondeye but how do they fit between the t-case and frame? the one in there now is a poorly made 3.5" and it hits the bottom of the floor of the cab and drives me nuts.

Anyone has experience with the diamondeye setup on a 4x4 truck and fitment issues let me know.....Otherwise i"ll just use 4" flex pipe

thanks in advance
Brandon

 

You know my truck, right ? c/c 4x4 auto

I bought the diamond eye kit and had to modify just the down pipe. The pipe around the TC fit fine, although it's a little tight. No modification at all.

The down pipe, OTOH, i had to crease / bend inwards due to it bumping the frame. Burnzamatic torch and a hammer with a blunt bar made little effort out of the annoying vibration I was getting.

The pipe around the TC fits. You just have to get it perfectly centered in there and it shouldn't hit anything.

Maybe someone with a regular cab can chime in.

 

I have the exact kit. it *just* slides in between the NP205, frame and driveshaft. We're talking maybe 1/8" clearance to each. My exhaust support bracket from the bellhousing bolt had sheared off. So I welded an "extension tab" to a typical u-bolt exhaust clamp, to reach a lower bellhousing bolt. Then a second support near the end of the pipe where the muffler would normally be attached. I only have the down pipe and the midsection installed so far. The muffler and tailpipe didn't make it due to not having any hangers on-hand at the time.

 

It still hit my Tcase with the diamond eye. It's very close, I ended up double wrapping it in thermo tape. Been like that for a year with no signs of wear and it prevents the pipe from banging off the tcase.

I used clamps to hold it on there, started from the DP to the muffler.

 

I would think a auto truck would have more room then a getrag truck would.

 

Yea the Getrag is alot shorter, but narrower possibly then the wide pan at the bottom of the 518.

Thanks for all the input guys, i'm gonna buy it if the worst thing is i gotta flatten one side out a little to clearence something, no biggie

 

4" Flex pipe?

 

My Stan's 4" fits really nicely. The clamps are cheap and rusted really quick tho.
