solid pipe to the 6637? anyone?

has anyone came up with a way to run a solid pipe from the turbo reduction boot to the 6637. i thought a 4" flex pipe from a semi would work, but the final bend was to sharp. i think it would look alot better than the 2 pup pieces and would let a little more whistle out. surely someone has figured this out.

You could custom fab one. Use some exhaust tubing and weld up one to fit.

I'm assuming you have an early 99, here's a kit put together by Clay that incorperates that bend in the pipe, nice kit, no guessing . Riffraff Diesel: RDP 6637 Filter Kit

for those of us with an aftermarket turbo that has the adapter to it, could we just run a piece of piping from that to the filter? what about making the tube shorter? would there be any adverse effects from shortening the tube and putting the filter on a straight light with the turbo intake?

sorry for the semi hi-jack

I was all set to order this kit from Clay, but there's not a pic of the pipe with the bend, and i wwant to make sure this kit will delete the factory accordian hose that Clay gave me at RRE2009...Clay, chime in if you want...

I think and I gather worm is talking about a pipe after the turbo intake pipe, sorta like deleting his CCV, running a 4 inch pipe from there then the bend to his filter choice? Not sure I ever seen a straight thru pipe, deleting that accordian style stock tube, unless you go with an upgraded turbo..

Custom maybe 2000ca250

I have one. I can try to get pics tomorrow. It was a one off piece. I have seen a few others out there. No one can make them for a cost-effective price.

yes my plan is to get rid of the rubber accordian hose. i think a piece of 4" exhaust with a 45 bend could be used but i cant find one in town. if i order one and it doesnt work im stuck with something i cant use, or shipping charges to send it back.

Do you have any local repair shops that work on big rig exhaust? They would probably have what you're looking for.

start with this comming off of the turbo...
Bending Reducer

comes in black as well

then go to Pipe strait to the filter..less clamps..less splices..cleaner look...

aluminum tubing is far better then exhaust pipe..aluminum tubing doesnt hold heat like exhaust pipe does..and the one I posted is used on a PSD...
