Where to get a Tymar downpipe???
Where can I order a Tymar or other brand 3"-3.5" downpipe for my truck?
Also how much harder is it to install than a straight 3" DP on our trucks?

All the downpipes are just about the same to install, the hard part is getting the pipe to clear the pinchweld in the firewall and they are all 3" till they get below the seam. Some are 3" all the way, some are 3"-3.5" and some are 3"-3.5"-4" but they are all 3" at the top where they are close to the pinchwelded seam.
For a TYMAR pipe you'll have to call and talk to Dale:

In your opinions, should I go with a straight 3" or a 3-3.5" or 3-4"???
I think a straight 3 would be fine, I'm not planning on going crazy with upgrades. Maybe Stage I's, HPOP, TW Chip, and maybe a slightly better turbo. Mainly a daily driver/camping truck.

Sounds like a good plan... What brands make the 3-4" DP's and how much do they cost? Anyone suggest a place to buy it?

I just installed my exaust with Tymar's 3-3.5-4 DP. The hardest part was cutting out the old flat pipe. It was a pain getting the right angle on the sawzall to cut the entire width of the old pipe. Once it's out, cutting the firewall seams wasn't hard. I cut the seams, and then used a rock pry bar, about six feet long, to bend them. Using the pry bar only took about three minutes. Relatively easy.

Refer to the link in the 2nd post by Muley. Dale's phone number is on the webpage. I've known Dale and his wife for at least 6 or 7 years and their webpage hasn't changed.
Just give him a call and he'll be able to tell you about the best options, prices, coatings, etc.

Did you see a noticable difference in the the overall way the truck ran when you put your dp's in? I was thinking about fabricating one and going with a 4" exhaust but didnt know if it really made a difference alone. I dont really care to make more hp , I just want it to run better and maybe pull my equipment around better. I will eventually when I have to upgrade parts a little at a time. I have two Jap cars that get all my love for now though.

I wouldn't get anything bigger than 3" at the top cause it won't fit easily at all in OBS trucks. You can open it up to 3.5 or 4" at the bottom but not on the upper half.
