Just Ordered New Exhuast

[smuesse]

I just got off he phone with Gus at Farm Boys Diesel. I ordered a 4" Turbo back for my truck. Im Freakin excited. Any one have any install tips. This will be my first time installing Diesel exhaust.

SWEET! What brand did you go with?

Very nice. Only tip I have for you is to get a buddy to help with the DP.

Spary all hangers with wd-40 because the rods can be PITA to slide out. Also, cut the downpipe so you don't need to screw around with the trans. crossmember. Once you've got the dp cut remove the V clamp at the turbo and if the dp doesn't just fall off twist dp clockwise and carefully but with some force jimmy the dp out. After removing the old system it pretty much a piece of cake job installing the new one, but like forever said have another set of hands helping with the dp.

I recommend you get band clamps instead of the supplied clamps they give you. When I got my exhaust the clamps didn't fit right and had to be trimmed to fit. I since have gotten band clamps and they work so much better. You will like the new sound

Use an air ratchet, it will go MUCH faster.

Make sure the downpipe and the next pipe are as far away from the crossmember as possible before tightening everything down.

Get everything snug and make sure the fit is correct and then take her home from the front to the back.

Also be careful with the turbo to downpipe clamp, Dont completely remove the nut from the bolt. I dropped mine somewhere and it was gone. Maybe even consider getting a new clamp if you want to make it even easier. .02

send it to me, then you dont have to worry about installing it

Woohoo! You're gonna love it! I love walking out on cold mornings once the high idle has kicked in. Sounds like someone's drying a racetrack with a jet dryer in my yard!

Post up once you get it installed.

Thanks for all the tips and advice. I can hardly wait. Iv been wanting this since I got the truck. I went with the Farm Boys Diesel budget kit. You just cant beat the price. I found some that were kinda cheaper on Ebay but with this i know exactly what im getting. I hope it gets in by friday so i can put it on Friday night. Ill see if i can record it with my phone and post it up. I need to get some updated pics on here.
