i cant see soot on my pipes but i know they are leaking, i reached way in behind the turbo and felt the pipes and my hand was covered with soot. 2 reasons that i knew they were leaking, 1. when i would let to truck warm up i could smell exhaust in the cab, 2. i have noticed the my boost pressure was slowly going down, not having the max number i used to.
thanks guys, I said 500 beacuse when i get them i plan on getting the ceramic coating. Also i'm tryin to figure out whether to use the money for a limited slip rear end or on the up-pipes. I live in eastern WA, so its a tad annoying to have only one wheel spinning in the snow...but its not something that i cant deal with if the up-pipes are a better investment

hahaha, well what i'm saying is i only have traction from one tire in the back not both...would rather have both...
oh I would definitely invest in the bellowed ones, if im replacing a stock part that has a flaw i am going to go with something that corrects the problem for good.
so the answer i am still waiting to hear is whether its a better investment to put a posi-traction or limited slipp diff in the rear axle or to replace teh up-pipes

I take it the bellowed up-pipes won't fit my early '99? If so I'm not certain I want to put that kind of money in it.

No they are different. But an early/late conversion doesn't cost nearly as much as you would think.

for you early 99 guys check out dieselsite's upgrade kit. if you go without the ebpv pedestal its 692 bucks for everything except the turbo and even comes with bellowed up pipes. i dont know what clay can do with his pricing but if your considering bellowed uppies thats already 400 bucks so for 300 more you can convert to the later setup. then you would just need to get a later model turbo or a 38R perhaps......
