    Optimal Exhaust Size

    Anybody that needs a 3" system from the Y-pipe back, for a non turbo truck is welcome to my old system you can pick it up or I can cut it and put it in a box to ship.

    Optimal Exhaust Size

    I just installed a banks turbo on mine I had a 3" system including the down pipe. Now I just got 4" from the down pipe back to the bed and 5" stacks.

    Installing banks system

    Install I am a experienced mechanic, over 15 years of experience and I just got done installing my used banks turbo. I will say the most frustrating part of the install was the turbo down pipe and the Y-pipe to the turbo. Man what a pain in the ****. Maybe it was because of the old body mounts...
