Hood stack
 
Wondering the best way I could make a pipe to run a hood stack on my stock turbo without flipping it or anything?

Might be able to use the existing down pipe, and just turn it to point up. Cut to length, and all done.

To exit the hood and not the cowl you need to fab a 90* toward the fender then another 90 to the front of the truck then 90 up. Obviously the air filter is in the way

Out of curiosity, why do you want a hood stat that puts soot on the cab, adds significant drone to the cab, and makes you chop up your hood?

Well I know it's stupid but I think it looks and sounds good no purpose for it but I have an extra hood so idc and I am going to use my 8 inch MBRP tip for the stack

If you have a mig, buy aluminized exhaust pipe. That's what my compound system is made of. Keep the heat low, just do spots at a time, and you will be able to fab up what you need.

Did you flip your turbo backwards? I wanna see a pic of it on the truck, the routing looks completely backwards from the pics you showed

Yeah that's what I'm looking at... That's not right.. Unless he was aiming for the middle of the hood. I think I'm just going to make one myself. Question though. I'm not sure the name of it but the last piece of the turbo closest to the cab that the down pipe connects to there is 4 bolts in that piece can you rotate that so the pipe comes out towards the fender?? Then FBI the rest of the pipe from there?

blacksally 12-07-2012 07:54 AM

no the turbo wasnt moved at all ill set it on the truck so you can see and yes the pipe came almost to the middle of hood.

RAW 12-07-2012 08:58 AM

This should be interesting. Only way I can see that working is if the manifold is flipped, raising the turbo.

blacksally 12-07-2012 11:33 PM

no with the bent it went towards the valve cover by coolant hose by manifold then out hood so almost to middle but not quite. and the exhaust off the turbo was turned some to. if i remember ill get pics tomorrow at work i still have the hood on the truck i got a new one but i need to sand down n prime

blacksally 12-09-2012 08:03 PM

On my 78 chevy that we stuck a cummins into took a stock down pipe cut it up a bunch and made it fit via my arc welder now it barely sticks out the hood and I welded on a piece of 5" to the hood so it can open close without a big gap. Didn't take too long and since I am running a divorced passenger drop case was much simpler than trying to route around the t case.
