Thanks! Other than the Diamond eye, do you know if there are any good, relatively bolt on downpipe or turbo back systems available?
Pondering a turbo
- Thread starter saburai
- Start date
detailed exhaust part list.in order of flow:
banks down pipe.
banks intermediate pipe (just front section.) this connects the odd sized banks dp to a 3" pipe and bends down to be parallel with the trucks underside.came with kit this time! saved me some coin.nice bonus.
3" to 3.5" adapter - walker 41981
a stick of 3.5" pipe
"big truck muffler" - walker 21470
short section of 3.5" pipe (just enough to hook muffler to adapter below)
3.5 to 4" adapter - summit 652269
4" tail pipe - dynomax 54387
then some clamps and hangers of course.

Double post.
Many thanks! I'm assuming banks still sells the intermediate pipe. Would you happen to have the part number? Alternatively, I can contact banks. Thanks again, looks like a plan...

Why do you want a turbo back kit? Thought you were using the banks down pipe.

Based on what Thewespaul said, I would get the turbo back system and cut a bit off as opposed to having to by and fabricate. Let me know what you think.

My bad, when I made my post the 3 previous weren't there for me but yours... lol. If you want a muffler I believe diamond eye sells a kit with one as well.
However the one you linked is a cat back system, not dp or even turbo back.

If you buy the Banks downpipe you will need like a 1 foot long section with about a 30 degree bend in it to run a downpipe back system, 3 inch slips right over the end of it I believe l
Thanks! So if I go with the banks DP and the Diamond eye 4" turbo back system, I'd need a piece of 3" to slip over the banks DP and then a 3"to 4" adapter to mate to what's left of the Diamond eye DP. This sound about right? My goal is to be able to put this together as a slip fit, just cutting the downpipes and welding the ******* downpipe up later if necessary.

The banks downpipe, at least on my banks wastegated kit, is 2.75" or so. 3" fits over it with about 1/4" of clearance - it's not a slip fit by any means, but the gap is weldable. You might try getting a tailpipe expander and just expanding it untill it is a slip fit.
Thanks for the good information!

The pipe I slid over mine was 3 inch OD so the pipe was smaller then 3 inch inside and the exit of the banks 2-3/4 inside diameter, small gap left weldable yes I used a 3in-3od strap clamp over the connection and have 99% sealed I belive no noticeable leak but I can't garrentee no leaks because I haven't really looked at it much since install
