Question What Modification?

I just got a 4" s/s magnaflow turbo back for my 2004 6.0 will this fit? I have heard you may need to do something with a pinch weld, bend or trim? I need to know if I need any special tools nippers, etc. It does not say anything in the instructions about this. Thanks for your help.

It should just be big clamps. I have never heard anything about pinchweld flanges.

Sometimes the downpipes will not clear and you have to bring out your hammer and shape either the down pipe to fit or the firewall to allow the downpipe in

pgjeepster, I'm just new to this forum, but I think what you heard was for old body style rigs. I had a 97 stroker and that was something you had to do to it. But I don't know about our superduty rigs

there is a pinch weld on the firewall that is in the way. give it the smack down with a hammer and the pipe will fit.

I should have been a bit more specific the pinch weld or ridge is supposedly on the firewall. I am not too sure if it is a problem with my year/model I just heard if you go with the 4" down pipe it's a really tight fit and some modification may be in order. Once again not sure if mine applies thought someone had done it and may know any tricks. Is there room to swing a hammer?
