I got my MKO 5" exhaust and I am having problems getting the 4" turboback pipe on. Does the 4" go right on the turbo or did I knock off another flange and can't find it? The V clamp just won't go over the turbo and the turbo back pipe. Am I missing something?
Thanks
Jeff

 

Jeff,
My MBRP 4" pipe fit perfectly on the turbo outlet flange as yours should too. Maybe u have a wrong size "V" clamp?

 

I don't think you are missing anything, it just isn't lined up right. It takes a little finagling to get the 4" down pipe lined up right with the outlet flange on the turbo. Do you have 2 sets of hands to do the job? It does make it easier, but not a must have.

 

I have an extra set of hands on the bottom and the v flange is the one I took off. There is nothing else on the back of the turbo? the v flange goes on the turbo back pipe and the turbo?

I agree, I know folks say one man job but that didn't work for me. I got tired of toiling and had teenage son get under there and move it per my direction and got the clamp on within 15 seconds.

 

Keep working it. It will go on unless you have a different turbo not made for our trucks. If the stocker came off, the MKO will go on.

 

GRRRRRRRR.
Lost the nut off v clamp, gotta run to town.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

 

there is a ground bolt in the back of the passenger head, there you see the braided ground that is attached to it, if you remove it like i did it wil go on much easyer, i had to take it out and relocated it to alt bracket,
before that it was no way i would be able to get it on the turbo,

 

It will fit, But takes some wiggling to get everything to line up
Heres the 4" downpipe from MKO

 

on my MKO I had to cut a couple bolts under the floor board to get it to fit..(I think it was the bolts for the seat..) it will allow the pipe to go up and stay strait..its surprising how a 1/2 inch long bolt will mess up your day..

 

hey guys are u able to relocate the spare tire or do u have to take it off for the 5inch exhaust to fit a budy of mine put 5inch on his and he had to take his spare off altogether so i was just waundering

 

I still have my spare in the factory location.

 

how close is the exhaust to the tire

 

about a thumbs width, no heat issued in 15K miles.

 

my spare is still in place..i had to slide it over just by loosening it up and give it push..no heat issue yet
