exhaust upgrade for NA idi
« on: July 12, 2015, 06:24:20 pm »
just recently purchased an 80' caddy and this is my first experience with an idi diesel. Im looking to do a relatively cheap exhaust upgrade to open her up a little bit more. I have read other threads of people bending their own exhaust and welding a toilet bowl style end for their down pipe. i dont really have access to a welder or pipe binder. anyone have any suggestions?

if you are not doing it yourself take it to an exhaust shop. Have them open up the hole in the toilet bowl and run 2.25" or so.
