Check out what i found yesterday in our ol' junk yard. A 5 inch tip i cut off a smoke stack from some mack i think it was... Not sure thought... I was thinking of doing a 4 in exhaust and make it go to a 5in tip. think its a good idea?

 

that would look sweet! go for it! i like the window visor things to, i just took mine off but might go back to them

 

it might be easier to buy a 4 to 5" tip that will just weld onto your 4" exhaust. $20 summit brand. i have one sitting here in got for $5...and its stainless not chrome

 

Go for it! here's my 6in.

 

oh.really? do you have a picture or a link. I could take that tip off your hands

 

Looks good!

just letting you know that if you start adding fuel (pump tweaks) and you have the pipe right there your back wheel will turn black after a few days if you. you could just bring the pipe out farther and you'd be fine.

i say go for it. What you got planned for an exhaust? 4" turbo back?

 

I thinkt would be just better to go all out and just make it all 5 since I alredy have the tip.. Yea. I know I want it black. Doesn't bother me. I don't know just a cheap straight pipe

 

overkill really. 5" aint necessary until like 400HP man. i don't even think a 5" downpipe would fit on a 1st gen, a 4" dp barely fits. lol

 

Oh. I don't know much. I'll just do four and do the five inch tip just strait pipe

 

4" will be a tight fit. here are a couple pics for reference. keep in mind that i have an nv5600 tranny on a 2wd truck and i had to dimple the down pipe as you'll see in the second pic.

 

so will i have to fab my own downpipe? or is there any place i can pick on up? im not that skilled with metal work.

i don't know of any aftermarket places that make a 5" dp for 1st gens. I may have seen a couple 5" dp's on trucks but can't recall where and i'm sure they were pieced together. looking at mine, i could've shortened the dp and ran it inside the frame rail giving me a bit more room. maybe consider that if you can find someone to build you a 5".

 

4" right here- already has the 3" flange so it'll hook right up to a stock turbo. http://www.sourceautomotive.biz/inde...mart&Itemid=26

 

I have a 2nd gen 4" downpipe on my truck, I barely got it to fit, it was tight!!! But I have the hy35 turbo with the turndown exhaust outlet like on the newer cummins, its not the V-band clamp style. Its pretty much right up against the firewall. I had to bend the transmission oil dipstick a little bit but i got it to fit! and the best part was I got it for $10! I'm pretty happy with it right now. 4" sure sounds a lot better than 3"!!! I was thinkin I could maybe get a 5" downpipe and 5" around the transfer case to fit in there if i built one but it would be dang tight. I think It would maybe fit though. or atleast a 4 1/2"...
