Wanted: crossover pipe and downpipe

[arveetek]

I'm looking for an improved aftermarket crossover pipe and downpipe for my 1995 6.5TD Tahoe. I'm slowly gathering all the parts I need for some needed upgrades. I currently have boost and EGT guages ready to install, plus a full 3.5" exhaust system from the downpipe back. Once I have the crossover and downpipes, I should be all set to go!

New or used will be fine.

PM or email to cflint@midamericarv.com

Thanks!

Flowmaster has a kit that has both those parts in it.

I see sales online (ebay) selling the downpipe separatly, and some with the x-over too, pretty reasonable on price as well (which is something you and I both look into).

anyone that sells just the cross over pipe?

I believe Kennedy sells just the crossover, also Heath diesel.

A few years ago, I got mine from Turbo Technology.

I just bought a complete 4 inch (three inch downpipe) system and a 2 1/2 inch crossover from Warpspeed. All mandrel bent. The products look perfect. Figured buying from Rogers, Arkansas was closer to Oklahoma, Haaaa. They are actually from Diamond Eye Performance in Athena, Oregon (God's country).

Much better finish than the 4 inch system I bought for the 95 that came from Jardine. That system uses a 3 inch downpipe, goes to 3 1/2 inch to the muffler area then 4 inch out the back. The Diamond Eye (Warpspeed) system goes directly to 4 inch after the downpipe. I have no complaint with Jardine's system, but the Warpspeed system looks better, fewer welds and smoother transitions.

As throaty as Jardine's system was, I can't wait to hear the Warpspeed (Diamond Eye) system :D

For those considering the "no muffler" approach, my experience has been that it sounds really throaty with no load but pulling the fiver it can get oppressively loud under acceleration to anyone on the passenger side of the truck. Actually way way too loud :eek:

Got the new heads from Clearwater now just waiting for the block back from the machinist and the pistons from JK and I can get on with assembling this beast.

Yeah, that Flowmaster kit looks quite nice, especially for only $113! That's not bad at all.

I'm definitely one of those guys where price is a major determing factor. I don't mind spending money if I feel like it's necessary and the best option. For an old Tahoe that doesn't do much towing, I don't see the need for more expensive hardware....

To everyone else,

Thanks for all the responses thus far...

I agree. My '81 has a Kennedy 4" muffler, and it can be a bit on the loud side with a heavy load. I definitely wouldn't want to ditch the muffler completely! Maybe if I had a longbed crew cab......:D

I'm not in a hurry to find these parts, so if anyone has a better deal than Summit's, let me know.

I might be interested in used parts as well.
