4" downpipe possible?

[JACT]

Ok I have read up a bit. But form what I gather its hard to fit.. Well I have an E350. So getting to the back of the motor is easy. I opened up the dog house and it looks like it wouldn't be so bad fitting the 4". So any insite on this would be awesome.. Another question is. Where can I get a 4" down pipe. Will the late model down pipe work?
Thanks guy

I GOT A MBRP 4 INCH TURBO BACK PERFORMANCE SYSTEM BUT THE 4 INCH DOWNPIPE WAS FOULING GEAR BOX, SO FITTED ORIGINAL 3.5 DOWNPIPE BACK ON AND INTO THE REST OF 4 INCH SYSTEM AND ITS WORKING JUST FINE. NICE RUMBLE, NOT TOO LOUD BUT CAN FEEL THE EXTRA HP AND TORQUE

dude you are kinda on your own with a van. Idk anyone on here who has done anything with those. But hey be a pioneer and let us know how it works!

not here to burst bubbles but..... your stock turbo outlet is 3 inch. what do you expect to gain from a 4 in dp when you have a 3 inch restriction right at the source?

BTW..... PSD vans are the schizzle

Well its like being in traffic. Two lines its backed up. But as soon as it opens up to 4 line it clears up. The same concept with moving exhaust. The shorter amount of time stuck in a tight area the better... And to answer your question I expect to gain lower EGT's.

BOB-you wouldn't happen to have the part number for that kit do you?

kanuck15 - Yeah I know, Thats why im just looking for a down pipe. I will build the rest of the exhaust myself. Im also planing to install a 6.4L IC.

I'm not looking for to make big power. But my van is heavy and I'll be towing alot. So im just trying to get the EGT's low and maybe help out with towning.

I guess your best bet is to buy one and find out. Might as well get a porta power, sawzall, and a welder while you're at it. But who knows, it may bolt right up

Check, Check, and Check..
I not trying to be a-hole or act like I know everything. Sorry if I came off that why. But this is my thing. If the turbo outlet is 3" and going to 4" after the outlet isn't going to make a difference. Then why even go to 4" or even 5" after the the dp? Its the same concept... And actually right after the turbo the gases are hotter, so less dense. They cools as it travels so they moves more freely. So you want more room up top.
Im just wanting to know has anyone done it? If so how? What exhaust did they use or did theymake they're own...
Thanks Guys

You are fine man, We get what ya mean. But you may be the first to want to try this. I dont know how it would work or what it even looks like under a van

[atvrider93]

So does the 4" downpipe bolt up to the turbo or do you have to use the flange from a 3" downpipe? I would actually like to try a 3.5", no way I could fit 4" though
