HX 40 downpipe
 

ok; so who ever said an HX 40 downpipe would fit with some "minor tweaking" needs their head examined. either that or my HX 40 dp is different than everyone elses because i made quite a few cuts to increase the bends and removed some pipe to make everything match, moved the tans dipstick. just really glad i have a chop saw, some spare pipe, and a welder. deffinately not a mount and go part lol

really? where did you order it from? the one i got from source automotive bolted right up no problem:yeah:. i guess the only minor thing i had to do was grind a little off the metal plate that holds the tranny heater but that was nothing major. you didnt get a 2nd gen down pipe did you?

bet u he did LMAO

The only 4" HX 40 down pipe I found was for the 2nd gens lol... SOB I kinda feel like an ass now hahaha oh well; it works... Maybe, spent so much time cutting, welding and fitting I didn't even get it bolted in place

At any rate I saved about 100 bucks lol, just haven't figured out if it's worth the extra headache

hey I am only a phone call away :w2:

advice is free, parts maybe too if you catch me on a good day :jump:

lol, more like i'm only a phone call away and if you have free stuff you better have me on speed dial hahah i'll pay shipping over retail anyday... truck sat this winter and the rotors went to hell and now i have to do a high arm steering kit, king pin rebuild and caster adjustment. it never ends :argh: oh and i still have to modify my front driveshaft so i actually have 4wd, its too short.... 6" of lift left me with a short driveshaft and killed my caster lol. :sad:

haha :D well we cant always get the right stuff. you did save alot of money buying the 2nd gen though.

I had a 2nd gen HX-40 DP on my truck for a while and it fit like a glove. My problem was it didn't line up with the rest of the exhaust so I had to use flexpipe to make it line up.

i made it work, i have a small exhaust leak right at the turbo flange but thats bc my existing exhaust didnt line up perfectly so neither did the flange. its liveable... i'll fix it later on down the road or something. the S300 seems abit laggy, idk if i need to fuel it a little harder or not. i've got the new full power screw in further than the old one as my idle is now higher. gonna crank the smoke screw down and run it afew times up and down the street but man is the old girl smoootthhhh its like a cummins cadillac hahahaha except for you feel every pebble in the road lol

i put a 2ng gen hx 40 dp in mine i just hit the fire wall with a hammer a bit lol and it fit like a glove love the new turbo :yeah:

Same here!
