nobody makes one. You'll have to get it custom made at an exhaust shop, which likely would be cheaper anyways. Don't bother with a 4inch exhaust by the way unless you're stroked to 3.4L and running like 30psi of boost. I wouldn't even bother with a 3" unless you're over 10psi.

custom is best.
4" if you got mad boost
3.5" is fine

even 3.5" is overkill unless you're over 20lbs.

You want a 4" cat back...as in 102mm diameter? You'll have to share with us how you did the DuraMax Turbo Diesel swap! Did you make your own engine mounts? How 'bout the tranny--Allison? Retrofit duallies and shave the rear fenders?

That sounds like it's making good power. I'm wondering if 4" would still be overkill though.

I'm running a 3.5" downpipe right now and I think it's holding me back a bit. Maybe time to upgrade to 4"

It would flow as much as a 3" exhaust.


Quick Reply: 3inch or 4inch Exhaust?
