| always bet on black  | downpipe outside frame? who has run their down pipe outside the frame? i am considering running my 4" downpipe next to the motor on the pass side, then turn out behind the tire and go outside the frame rail back to the stock exit point. i need it to clear the stock wheel/tire. it seems like it will help with tranny service, not having pipes anywhere around the tranny, and will cause no interference with the traction bars. anybody run theirs outside? |

my first turbo kit had the downpipe UNDER the cross member... it was a nightmare... my truck is not stock height its dropped about 3" so i couldnt clear speed bumps.. my new setup runs down the passenger side next to the header. the downpipe is also 2 pieces... it has vbands and so if work needed to be done with the transmission it would be easy to get the downpipe out of the way. | |

| always bet on black | no, i am lowered 2", but there shouldn't be any ground clearance issues. i am not going under the frame or crossmember, just running the pipe outside the frame as opposed to inside, where the stock exhaust is.

| always bet on black | i can fit it inside, but i want it out. i have an idea to fab some new traction bars, but if i run inside the rail, the exhaust will be in the way. oh well, i just got my shipping confirmation for my 4" tubing. i guess i will just have to try and see if i can make it fit.....
