That's a lot of money Fizzy. I suppose it costs an arm and leg to get one across the border though. You can bend that firewall alot without hurting anything. I put in a 3 1/2 and had to use a porta power and push, push and push.

I've never seen a BD downpipe for our trucks, so I'm unsure of how they fit. It's tough to get a downpipe that fits well for our trucks, even after bending the pinch weld. Look into Tymar, Grand Rock, and Diamond Eye. If I ever have to buy another downpipe, it will be a Grand Rock or Tymar.

Here is one for $89 US.

MBRP 3 Down Pipe Kit 7.3L Ford - $89.99


Just google "7.3 downpipe" and you will get plenty of options.

I have that MBRP downpipe in my truck now. I've adjusted this thing like 10 times and it still rubs. It actually now has a hole in it I'm pretty sure from rubbing. LOL

Ya, I know. I pushed as hard as I could with blocks of wood etc. and I, like you, have adjusted it several time.
