Need 4" now... help me!
I'm sliding down the slippery slope big time. Now that I have the Stage 4 on there with the piston pump I noticed at high RPM I get a rasp in the exhaust which is a telltale sign that I need a bigger pipe. My 3" ain't cutting it any more
. I have two really nice very short radius mandrel 90's, just need the adapter from the turbo flange to the 4" and some 4" pipe stock.
I need therapy, I can't stop....

Well your in luck, Dr. Loch is in the house. Now listen carefully and i will help you. First take a deep breath and balance your check book, then go get your parts. Its the only treatment avalible (besides buying a ford). I am sorry this bombing bug has proven in all testing that there is no cure.

I thing that HTT sells the flang, by it self and then all you would need to do is weld the 4" to it!
I built my own. I bought a 10 foot piece of 4" from the local Internation harvester dealer. It was only $40 at the time. I had 4 mandrel bent 90 degree elbows laying around. I built my own system in a 2WD truck from turbo to behind drive axle.
My reducer off the turbo is not pretty but gets the job done.
with a little math we know that to remove 1" of diameter than we must remove aprox. 3" of the circumfrance.
my spelling sucks.
So I marked the end of a 4" elbow in thirds and cut a 1" pie shape out in 3 places and tapped it back together and welded it back together, in a since making a taper from 4" down to 3" on the end of an elbow.
a picture would be great but It would take me a month to get a photo and figure out how to post it here
You need to get creative or shell out the cash.
Good luck and dont give up
