Man o man!! now what do I do!!

Just had my stock exhaust cut off, garage have gone to fit my new Bully Dog 4" T304 Stainless turbo back exhaust and yep it don't bloody fit... I'm fuming to say the least as I'm now off the road in a country that does not support F350 parts...

Basically everything fits, but the downpipe from the Turbo, it will fit the turbo connection if room would allow but the BIG problem is its hitting the fire wall (bulk head) big time, not just slightly...

Any ideas??

I'm about to ring Custom Cruisers here in the UK where I brought it, but they specialise in Harley bike parts and the truck bits is a side line, I just know he is simply gunna say "Well its for your truck, blah blah blah!!!" and fob me off

As anybody had this problem before, I thought buying a known brand I'd be safe? is it poor craftmanship or as some idiot boxed a 6.0PS exhaust in a 7.3PS???

How different is the exhaust route between the two?

Any help or advise would be soooo gratefully received.

Jez I've got chest pains I'm so #issed right now, must calm down!!

 

Is your truck a left hand drive or right hand drive?

 

Bump for you man...sorry to hear about your difficulty, but these guys will get you sorted out. I really don't know anything about it, but good luck with it...you'll have plenty of good input in a little while here.

 

Thanks guys, yes I'm totally stock and LHD.

Had a look at the garage myself (got photos but really don't know how to upload here)

Basically the connection to turbo is correct and all, but it seems there is not enough bend in the pipe and it fowls the firewall way before it can connect to the turbo.

I've a photo of the old original downpipe and this Bully one so will try and figure how to get it up here.

Personally I think its the wrong part totally.. as the yare not even close to looking like each other

 

Viper, I wish I could be of more help with you exhaust, but if you have the pics on your computer click the "Reply" button, scroll down to the "manage attachments" bar in the Additional options box, click it, and you should be able to upload three pics there.
Hope this helps,
Help is on the way....

 

Frank he don't have that option he's not a supporter. He will have to upload to a album in his profile then he can copy and past into a thread.

 

Oh, I didn't know that....
Good to know for future refrence. Thanks

 

Viper, How much of the exhaust do you have installed. It almost sounds like you have searter at the back of the truck. The first piece you install must be the downpipe. once the downpipe is installed you must leave all connections loose until it is all installed and aligned, then it can be secured it. Hope this helps.

 

well I think I've figured it out by touring around the bully site.

Seems some muppet as sent me a 6.0 system!!!

This is as big a picture I can post?? but you can see the big difference still

the 6.0 down pipe is totally straight, the 7.3 is twisted, one I have is straight.

Oh I'm so screwed now, I've a stroker with no exhaust, the stock exhaust is in 5 pieces now and not useable.

All the supplier is saying is he brought them wholesale and he'll see what he's got knocking about and will speak to some stainless steel specialist to see if they can make something

Just to note, it was the downpipe we started at, tomorrow I'll go see if the after cat section is also wrong, I'm guessing its the whole darn lot

 

Good luck finding someone to mandrel bend 4" tubing and flare it properly for the turbo connection! Sorry to hear that you have the wrong exhaust, hope you can find one locally.

 

I'm just gunna return the complete thing and just park the truck up in storage as I'm left with no exhaust whatsoever, I know its not the trucks fault but I've only had it a week and spent over $1,000 on crap upgrades and its just one thing after another and I'm losing faith fast lol!!

I'll just hijack the wifes Audi with its whopping 1.9 TDi lol!!

 

I can see why you'd be discouraged. Maybe you can find a welder to repair the cuts in the factory exhaust until you can find what you need.
Just get everything sorted, run it for a while and get used to it. You'll come to love it.

 

Brian Chunder down under ran into the same problem with his down pipe he had to have ti cut and rewelded to make it fit

 

Your stock downpipe does not look to be to cut up. Re install stock downpipe, get a 3" to 4" pipe adapter (exhaust shop should have them)join the DP and the rest of the kit together by addidng a short piece of pipe and get back on the road. go by and beat the hell outta the harley dealer

 

X2 on that they should Know what they're selling or not sell it at all.
