4" pipe for muffler delete?
I'm going to pull my muffler asap but where do I find the pipe to replace it with? I don't think the local muffler shop does diesels so they won't have it and I probably need a special piece not just a chunk of 4" pipe right?

Thanks guys but I found a local place today that will have some 4" pipe tomorrow. Another guy had some but he insisted that he do the work and wouldn't sell me the part I needed, I guess not everybody likes do-it-yourselfers huh?

For the others who don't have one yet.
GO TO YOUR LOCAL SEMI SHOP!!! They deal with 4" every day. My local exhaust shop(s) can't bend or flare anything bigger than 3". I called about five of them and every single one told me the same thing.

Got 'er Done! I got rid of that pesky muffler thing today, man does that thing sound good now! I went for a ride and was a little dissapointed that I couldn't hear anything different but I got back and walked around back and couldn't believe the change. I ran up to 75 mph so I coud see how it will be on the interstate and only hear it when I let off the throttle without declutching. Best $15 I've spent on a truck yet, can't wait to get rid of the foil under the hood this weekend, I love to hear that turbo whistle. I'm thinking about painting the turbo inlet pipes, do I need special paint for the aluminum?
