And parts are cheaper. You can get that edge turbo (which comes with a down pipe) and 4" exhaust for under a grand... You cant beat that!

Got to work on the truck some more today and I got the Exhaust on and turbo mounted...
Had to clearance the fire wall a little with the sledge hammer for the 2nd gen 4" HX40 style down pipe to fit
The expandit exhaust I got from Diesel Dawgs has a 3-1/2" Down pipe. Since I used the 4" 2nd gen I cut off the adapter as well as a short piece of the down pipe and joined them with a short piece of flex pipe.
Then it was just a matter of putting the pieces together. The kit went together VERY easy. It fits PERFECT!!!
Here is the 4" pipe going past the Transfer Case
I used band clamps (you can see them in the flex pipe pics) instead of the U-Bolt clamps that come with it. this will make it easier to take apart in the future. I used the u-bolt clamps that came with it for the hangers.
I used the stock hanger for the tail pipe. I just drilled a hole in the pipe and put the bolt through.
Again... VERY smooth install!
I would HIGHLY recommend this system to anyone who wants a better exhaust for there truck!

I did do most of it laid on my back though. Wouldn't be that hard.
