I was looking on http://www.dieselperformanceparts.com a little bit ago and noticed they have a downpipe listed under mbrps exhaust tab.... I am wondering if anyone has it. I was under the impression that mbrp did not make a downpipe. Or is what i am lookin at not mbrp's product
Thanks

The one pictured is the front pipe, not a down pipe.

I see what you mean. I looked under their “Down Pipe” category and saw the front pipe. I could not find anything on the MBRP site either. I am guessing that it is the front pipe made for the LBZ. :confused:

I am gonna give them a call tomorrow to check but i would assume it was the front pipe . Especially for that price. I got quoted for 400 bucks for a custom downpipe....I thought that was just a lil crazy to only increase DP size by one half inch

I have one on my 06 and it's definitely not a down pipe.

They call these "front pipes" as a technicality because Dmax's have absolutely no room to get anything past the firewall to the turbo, so they call it a frontpipe because it does not go all the way to the turbo.

the only "down pipe" i've seen that are aftermarket come with a turbo upgrade such as ATS or Garrethttps://www.xtremediesel.com/ProductImages/products_6/GT3788R.jpg

the front pipe also eliminates the cat.

ColbyColorado04,

Thats a front pipe that eliminates the cat not a down pipe per say from the turbo etc. Hope it didn't cause you any confusion etc.

I believe TTS makes one for the stock turbo.

Thats what I figured it really was, just a front pipe but the websites wording saying that it was a downpipe kinda put a ? mark up..thanks for clarifying that though....
