Downpipe suggestions

atwal187 · 03-17-2016, 01:28 PM

Apparently the mechanic told me my flex piping inside my downpipe is leaking. And said it must be replaced. Anybody have any good suggestions for downpipes that are of good quality. Or else I'll be stuck with putting back on the dpf

Did you not buy the DP? If you did buy, it would be fair to give same builder a chance to make good on the problem.

Anybody know if it's possible to buy a flex pipe and get a welding shop to repair it ?

GaryE30 · 03-17-2016, 08:46 PM

Possible? Yes. How do you think it was made?

atwal, you are a prime example of how buying an inferior part leads to paying for it twice. Do yourself a favour, get a quality piece from someone like Bohl and forget about these not fitting, falling apart pieces. Take it from someone who knows what a different pipes are like. Best of luck to you. Also, you are local, so if you need some help, let me know. What tune are you running?

HeatherM35d · 03-18-2016, 01:59 PM

I build my downpipes with preload set in the flex coupler so it's not being pulled on while driving around.. The little things

fsd350 · 03-18-2016, 07:44 PM

Bohl Diesel Performance all the way. Hopefully those cats at x-parts will take care of you though.

atwal187 · 03-19-2016, 01:33 PM

Went to the Bohl website but they didn't have a price listed, anybody know how much they usually go for ?
