Downpipe.

Bought a 2000 Downpipe today at a salvage yard for 25 bucks.
Any tips and tricks and pictures would surely be appreciated. I have never done this before but have heard it can be a pain.

I dont know how your truck is set up, but i have done an 02, and helped do an 04. 02 went easy, the 04 was a pain . Good luck with it. Maybe someone with knowledge about your year truck will be here in a few.

You may have to do some cutting and fitting to get it in, and it will probably be a pain.

I THINK but not sure that the downpipe flange on the SD(2000) is a lil different and would have to be changed to work with your turbo. I don't know how all the bends of the SD downpipe compare to the bends needed to clear the firewall on the OBS trucks. So you may have to do a little extra massaging of the firewall to get it to fit in there. Anything can be done with enough cutting Good luck

I'm sorry, I don't know if that will fit in your truck, but it never hurts to try.

Anything can be done with enough wallet and ambition, you'll get it in there.
