Product Specifications and Features
Material and Thickness
Crafted from T-409 stainless steel, this pipe stands out for its durability. Unlike T-304 stainless steel, T-409 has magnetic properties—don’t be surprised if a magnet sticks to it. The 2mm thick stainless steel ensures lasting resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, making it a reliable choice for demanding conditions that push your truck to the limit.
Size Options
You can choose between 4-inch and 5-inch inlet diameters. If you're looking for enhanced exhaust flow and power gains, the 5-inch option will meet your needs. While it’s a bit pricier, it’s well worth it for the performance boost that serious drivers crave.
Package Contents
When you purchase this kit, you’ll receive:
- 2 pipes
- 2 clamps
- 1 hanger
- 3 bolts
Every part is inspected meticulously to ensure you receive a product you can count on. This complete set helps you get started on your upgrade without any surprises.
Installation Guide and Tips
Required Tools and Preparation
Before you get started, make sure you have a wrench, clamps, and a cutter (useful for shorter wheelbase models). If you can access an automotive lift, your job will be even easier and faster. Don’t worry if you’re working in your driveway—this upgrade is doable for any dedicated DIYer.
Step-by-Step Installation Process
INSTALLATION STEPS
Step 1:
Removal of original system Starting at turbo, remove the band clamp from
the down pipe at the turbo. Loosen the bolt enough to unlatch the clamp,
then pry the clamp away from flange at three spots with a
flathead screwdriver. Remove clamp. (Note: keep the stock band clamp as it
will be used with the new system).
Step 2:
Unbolt the flange and all factory bungs and airlines on down pipe and Diesel
Particu late Filter.
Step 3:
Cut the down pipe next to the transmission to make removal easier. If you
want to keep the down pipe, it will be necessary to lower the transmission
plate support to make room for removal of pipe. (Make sure you support the
transmission before doing this).
Step 4:
Loosen all clamp connections. Spray the hangers with WD-40, then pry
them from the OE rubber hangers and remove the factory exhaust. (Note: a
sawzall or hacksaw is the preferred method of cutting exhaust).
Step 5:
Make sure to place the clamps on all connections before installation of
pipes and mufflers.Install #20811 turbo pipe using the stock turbo band
clamp. Snug the clamp down so it will hold pipe but pipe can still be moved.
Step 6:
Install the DPF race pipe (#21012NB). For longer wheel bases, pipe #40022
will be needed.Sensors/Lines do not need to go back into the exhaust
system. Read tuner instructions.
Step 7:
Install muffler, over the axle pipe and tailpipe placing hangers into OEM
rubber hangers.
Step 8:
Nug all the clamps down so they will hold the pipe but the pipe can still be
moved with some effort. Check for clearance, i.e. brake lines may have to be
moved or e-brake cables as well as axle vent tubes, also check that the exit
of tail pipe is level with the truck.
Step 9:
Using the supplied security torx tool, transfer the MAF sensor from the
factory intake to the new intake. Then install the intake support hand tight.
Step 10:
Tighten the turbo band clamp. Starting at the front clamp work your way to
the back connection, tightening clamps as you go. (Note: a mig weld should
be applied to the clamped connections of pipe for added security). DO NOT
WELD CLAMPS.
