Possible 3" turbo downpipe option

Sorry if this has been done before, I'm only recently curious about the turbo stuff.

But for the price of that thing I wonder if it could be a viable option to get out the hot side at 3", and go from there. Probably would have to be cut somewhere closer to the flange depending on how it fit around the engine and what not.

For $80 your better off getting a local pipe bender to make you something. Your gonna have to madify that piece alot to get it anywhere close anyway. Not to mention the flange probably wont bolt up to your turbo.

or just a readymade one from Banks for $110.. done deal, no messing around with getting things to fit on a "custom" job

Plus you would loose your wastegate.

It's a 5 bolt flange so as far as I know it will bolt up on that end.

I have the banks downpipe, it is only 2 1/2 at the flange, and less than 3 at the end. and that's after going throught the restrictive elbow.

Imagine how much flow you would have in that nice smooth runner if it is really a 3" at the flange, and the only other way to do it is spend something like $550 at ATS.

No big deal if I'm wacked on this somewhere, that's why I posted it, my truck is together, there's no way I'm messing with it in that sense now.

you must have a different Banks downpipe than I just bought. See pic of mine, it's 3" all the way...

that's not an IDI down pipe. it's for a powerstroke. so you are gunna have to mod it.

lets hope not. I just spoke w/ 2 different peeps at Banks and both claim part 52102 is for the IDI w/ Auto Trans

Off the top of my head I would say I got the 52103, but it attaches with a v-band clamp to the elbow flange.

Yours looks like it has the 5 bolt adapter so you don't need an elbow.

If that is what it is supposed to be that would be great, well unless it really dosen't fit around a ZF.

That Dp in the picture is for a sidewinder, not a ATS.

The ZF is smaller.

oopse i forgot banks had a different downpipe for their kit. my bad. but man it looks JUST like a power stroke DP.

Yeah, I have a banks downpipe on my ATS now but, as far as I know that is the same 5 bolt pattern that bolts to the hot side once I remove my elbow. I guess if it was on mine I would have no wastegate.

I suppose the ATS might be positioned differently with the up-pipe in which case that downpipe wouldnt' be bent properly for it.

Like I say, I'm not doing anything on mine anytime soon, but it would be nice to figure out better ways to go to real three inch downpipe than ATSs elbow.

 

[snaponprofile]

Yeah, the ATS and banks are completely different in the way they sit. ATS sits on the pass. side and banks sits behind the intake manifold, the DP's are not interchangeable.

will a unmodified PSD DP fit in there or would it need modification?
