Exhaust question
I have a 2000 Powerstroke and am planning on changing the exhaust to 4". No shop in the immediate area can work with 4" pipe, so I guess I will do it myself. I can get a good deal on a Magnaflow XL exhaust, stainless steel. Has anyone installed this kit? If so, do you like it, and how hard was it to install? This kit comes with a 3 1/2" downpipe. Magnaflow's ad says 3 1/2" is better than 4" on the downpipe. And I was wondering if this is true, or should I try to get a 4" downpipe? Or does it make much difference?

I bought the same exhaust, installation was easy, all necessary hangers were included and the price was great. I purchased my dp from Banks(3.5") I would use the 3.5"dp on your truck also. You might find that the 4" will be snug against the firewall.
