You will most likely need a sawsall.

Make 2 cuts (one at the top an inch or soo from the turbo flange,the 2nd one is right before the trans cross member) the stocker hits the ground start modden your pinch weld seam then put the pipe on adj. tighten down.

I have a sawzall and high speed cutting wheel. Forgot to mention that. Can this be done in a couple of hours? I plan on taking a couple of hours tomorrow night after i get the kids in bed to sneak off to the shop to do this.

Oh yeah for sure. I did my down pipe and dual stacks(At the time) in about 3 hours.

it took me like 2.5-3hrs but i wasnt pushing it. one thing i would recommend is a longer metal blade for a sawzaw it isnt 100% nessicary but i would have loved to have one. also good luck with the fire wall lol

i ordered a chip and diy stage 1 kit. i installed the chip but want to do the downpipe before i do my injectors. I also sometime need to install my gauges. anytips lol....

Thanks alot for the info guys.

The longest sawzall blade is a must, it cuts the time WAY down..... and clearance the firewall more than you think, it sux to pull it back out the following weekend for another 1/4 in!
Make some guide lines with a sharpie on the fire wall before you cut it out, not necessary but then you can put the saw down and go right to clearancing the F/W..... your already down there! one of the easiest mods to any truck i have done.

Here's mine, the pics should help. I did it in the dirt with primative tools.

make your cut around that area. then cut down below and it practically falls out.



the 3 pieces you end up with


heres the difference, its surprising they would put something in like that


one of these is AWESOME for moving the firewall. just pump it and itll open up and move it where you need it to go. mad it simple with the tranny in.


after its in just be sure to enjoy the extra noise put in mine last weekend and im still enjoying the additional turbo noise lol
