It's my understanding it's standard parts on a Cummins N series engine (I don't know of a specific application). You still have to weld part of a V-band clamp to it so it'll clamp to an adapter for the HT3B's exhaust housing.

With you using your top turbo as a secondary along with your 3-piece exhaust manifold, the PRD stage-1 kit comes with all this stuff (not including the transmission heat exchanger or cooler).

It includes all the band-clamps, silicon boots, oil lines & fittings, etc.

I don't know if PDR sells the hot-pipe parts separately. Somebody will have to call.

Many save a lot making all the plumbing having access to welding, cutting and grinding tools.

NICE Snoot!

(Changing the engine oil filter's gonna be fun).

I gotta weld a tab onto my down-pipe and secure it to the bell-housing.

Not bad really I can get to it as is or take a couple bolts loose and rotate the S400 up out of the way in about 5 minutes.

In fact changing a oil filter on some other cars and trucks is harder IMO.

good job snoot, In my conversion i have an air conditioner in the back corner so the standard twin set up would be too tight (for my likeing) this idea is perfect for me. good job thinking out side the box.
