Default front mount turbo guys looking for 4" exhaust.... in here....

I got the newest LMC truck catalog today in the mail and saw a full turbo-back duramax system that's all 4" mandrel bent tubing with muffler and all (the muffler isn't much of one it looks like) for $299... From the looks of it, you can just trim one small bend off and it would fit up to the downpipe on just about every single turbo front mount system I've ever seen... My KBracing kit, Tricks, Livernois, and others all exit in relatively the same location... I think this thing could be made to work very easily....


Consider this my next mod after the motor goes in I believe my current 3" system with 2 mufflers is holding me back quite a bit and will be even worse with more cubes and more boost...

Next time you see Colton's truck take a look at his exhaust, maybe he will post up a pic... We added a 4" pipe, Vbands and muffler to his downpipe pretty easily...

I haven't seen his truck since I worked out there... Maybe I can take a look if he goes to SAR in Feb. This is a complete system that has hangers and all, it exits like a stock Duramax system. I'd cut it back and just leave it dumped behind the axle somewhere...

Thats cool, i was just giving you another option, on his it was easy, 1 long (6-8ft I don't remember) straight 4" pipe all the way back to his 4" magnaflow, dumped right after the muffler.. The 4" pipe barely fit but it is a completely straight shot, sounded damn good too..

If anything, this may add to the audible whistle from a front mount with the bigger tubing. Lol... Throw a 4" magnaflow in there and I'd be willing to bet it would be really quiet.... I'm going to run the muffler that comes with it. It basically just looks like a 5 or 6in resonator... Not sure on the inside, but most all aftermarket diesel mufflers are straight through. Ill call and verify this before I order mine.

You will get a **** load of turbo whistle with any of the aftermarket diesel mufflers because they all are straight through. Any video you see of a disel truck with aftermarket exhaust they whistle. My corsa turbo back SCREAMS, but I like it
