This is the second turbo diesel that I have owned. As with the first, literally the day after I bought it, I straight piped it. This is fine for cruising around and commuting, but when towing heavy the drone makes your ears ring! Here's how I did it:
The outer canister is 6" aluminized exhaust tubing, the inner core is 4" perforated with 37 percent open area, the end caps are 3/16" steel, and the tubing is swedged to slip over the existing 4" exhaust.
I weld it all together with my 220 mig using argon/co2. As you can see, the penetration is excellent.
The inner core only has 1" of 1200 degree packing around it, that's how it keeps the big rig sound!
As you can see, the entire thing is hand built. The over all length is 15"
