I am in need of a new exhaust from the turbo back to the tail pipe.  I have been looking online at exhaust kits that appear to assemble with clamps.  Or I could spend a little extra money and pay a muffler shop to put on a custom exhaust with not need of a segmented system.  Are the do it yourself kits worth it?  I worry that they may be more prone to coming apart and creating more problems.  I like the idea of having an exhaust that is welded together, however, I don't have access to one.  I wouldn't mind putting it on myself especially if it saved me money, but I don't want to be doing this every other year.

 

Thoughts/Recommendations?

It sounds mellow yet you can tell it's a cummins right?

Live Oak, for some reason I cannot get the u-tube link you posted. Just want to let you know, I appreciate it and can go to u-tube and look around. For some reason I always forget to look/ listen on that site for what others have done too.

 

You might try the link again, it works for me. 

Definitely nice sounding without the bellar.

yah!    seems  like a decent price too.   ~360 $     

One of our vendors...DAP has Diamond eye 4" turbo back kit for $291 with free shipping. Please work our vendors into your decision making process. Tell them that you saw their ad on mopar1973man in the special notes section when ordering.

On my 05 I have about 200 bucks into a muffler elimination pipe and 30" FTE resonator in place of the Cat and a couple clamps all in the OEM 4" exhaust system. No need to replace something that is still good and already 4" Turbo back. I realize you 2nd genners don't have 4" OEM but they do make pipe adapters.
