down pipe question?
I ready to buy a DP for my 94 psd and have seen one and two piece DP's. Which one is better. As far as installation and preformance. I would imagine that the two piece is easier to install. Is this right? Thanks for any input.

performance is the same, 2 piece will be a whole lot easier to install. an easy way to get the stock dp out is to loosen it at the top and bottom, push it as far up as you can, then use a sawzall with a 10" or so blade and cut as far down from the cobra head as possible. i cut about 2" below the head and the stock dp dropped right out. good luck

it really varies. some people use a clamp that only has one nut to turn, others use the u-bolt type. i was able to use a u-bolt type on my 4" dp and it's pretty close to the frame. i would say try the u-bolt cause it's pretty cheap and it can be taken back if it won't fit
