Most people cut it up top about an inch from the band and then 1 cut about half way down. Then it just drops out. Then they either use a prybar or saw to flatten/ cut the pinch weld on the firewall flat. Then it will fit WAY more easily!
I took the stock down pipe out on my truck in one piece. i took the transmission cross member off. dropped the transmission down as gar as it would go. then with a big pry bar pryed the back of the transmission towards the driver side. then the old downpipe pulled right out!
It’s definitely made a difference in how quickly the turbo spools and I can hear the turbo more inside and outside the truck. I’m sure it’s added some power too but it’s hard to say how much
Damn it. You made me miss wrenching with my buddy. I guess I’m going to have to go spend some money so we can have a project. Awesome work you two. Keep em coming.
Can you put this set up on a 1990 F250 7.3 4x4 with an aftermarket ATS TURBO? My year was pre-Turbo before installed. Wondering if the 94-97 Turbo exhaust kits will work.
I saw this dude that got super long blades for his saw and cut it up as high as possible from the bottom and it came out super easy.
It's a pain no matter what, but I bet that would help!
@@TruckStuff1 it really looks like it. Especially stuffing that new one in there. I can't believe it fits (that's what she said 😭)

I have to get this for my 7.3
Yes you do!
I did a similar kit on my buddies 7.3, it's definitely a 2 man job!
Wow the obs down pipes are restrictive! the diamond eye is going to be nice upgrade, I've had their 5 in kit on my 7.3 for awhile now and love it.
Absolutely! That factory down pipe doesn't allow for much breathing room. Already such a nice improvement

Is the rest of the exhaust stock after the down pipe?
Nope! We also installed a 4" diamond eye exhaust
