hey all...I know this subject has probly been beat down flat. but I need y'alls opinion on which supplier of down pipes I should use. Banks has a stainless one with a egt bung on her already but its kinda pricy. also anyone ever try one from MOTOBLUE? I know there are alot of makers and sizes 3, 3.5, 4. Diamond eye, tymar, magnaflow. etc. theyre all the same right? any preference? thank you very much

 

You cant get anything bigger than 3" in to to available space. Larger DownPipes take mods to the firewall.

Tymar makes a good one.
Don't be overly impressed with an EGT probe port in the DP, that's not the best place to put a probe. Pre Turbo is much better,

 

I hear good things about Tymar, and greatly priced also. they come in a 3"/3.5" and a 3 to 4". all of them are 2 peice and can be put in with easy if you bend the seam on the firewall. you will need a 2by for that.

thanks for the replies guys...does tymar have a website? will 4" fit down there?
thanks guys

 

Tymar's website only lists their phone number & email. tymarperformance.com

I've got their 3"-4" DP with 4" out the back. Beat the firewall seam & bolt it in.

 

Shoot him an e-mail. he gives you the products he makes and prices. but the 4" takes some major firewall mods. some guys just beat them in with sluges till it clears and then others cut the firewall and then weld a hump there. and i dont know if hte 4" clears tranny lines?

ive got a 3-4. once it clears the firewall it goes to 4. that is all you need. another vote for tymar from me.

you dont want your egt probe after the turbo. you want it in the manifold preturbo so dont worry about the bung on a downpipe. dales site is tymarperformance.com it doesnt have anything on it except phone number. thats all you need.

 

third vote tymar, just got my downpipe from him. http://www.tymarperformance.com/ shoot him an E-mail, or call him. He's a great guy to talk to and know's his stuff. Also includes great instructions for DP install, and gutting the EBPV if you so desire.

4th vote for Tymar... Dale is a great guy! And in my opinion its the best exhaust out their for the OBS powerstroke!!!!!!

 

Make it 5 for Tymar. I put his 3" to 4" in my 97 F350 and only minor massage of firewall, NOT major as suggested above. Ask Dale about ceramic coating it for you also. Not too much more money, and might as well do it right while your doing it.

Dale knows his stuff and will take good care of you, he send great step by step instuctions.

 

Mine's a Tymar.

Another Tymar. Free up an afternoon if you give Dale a call. He can (and probably will) talk your ear off about anything PSD.

 

Mines homemade Biotchs! Lol, it was cheap and fun! 3" two-piece dp for me. Im gonna build another one here soon. Gonna run a 5" lower piece and connect it to the 3" upper section with a 3" to 5" long slope reducer. Gonna have my buddy ceramic coat the headers and y-pipe, as well as the dp. Im excited for sure!

 

thanks for the replies guys any one care to give a price range on dale tymars 3-4"? Id really appreciate it. powerstroked162...got any pictures?

 

i think its in the 120 range. but if you get a 3-4 you gotta get the rest or make the rest. cause the stock size is 3.5

pretty sure dale sells the following:

3-3.5 to stock cat
3-3.5 to cat delete
3-4
3-5

good luck
