How hard is it to put a 4'' down pipe on a 05 6.0. -

Considering how cramped the engine compartment is, I'd say around a scale of 7?? -

thanks -

No problem! -

my advice is to not even try to take the stock down pipe out in one piece. get the sawzall out and you can have the swap made in 1 hour its really not as bad as you would think it is.

does anyone have a link to the new downpipe? -

theres several vendors on this site that can hook you up send one of them a PM -

We have sold several of Magnaflows 4" exhaust systems with the 4" down pipe.

It will depend on your mechanical ability. Cutting the OEM out is the easiest way to get started. After that getting the turbo clamp on and tighted correctly on the new pipe is the second hardest part if you are by yourself. -

when i installed my 4" down pipe it sucked big time, but that was due in part to the bends being off a bit. -

Why do you need to cut the downpipe?

Take the trans crossmember out, and undo the clamp at the turbo. It'll just about fall out. -

Because sawzall's are cool!! -

mainly because it takes 15 minutes to cut the stock pipe in half then you are ready to move on... where it would take 20 minutes just to take the crossmember out. then you still have to take the old downpipe out... and it doesnt juct fall right out. thats why i cut mine in half got tired of fighting the damn thing..and ill agree SAWZALLS RULE -

Only had about a thousand of 'em off...I guess practice makes perfect. Never really had any issue doing it this way, but different strokes for different folks, i guess -
