[Fiveohmatt]

Who has the best deal on bellowed up pipes for an obs?

 

[iowacornfarmer]

Bump I need some as well

 

[thatdude]

Doesn't Riffraff have a set?

 

[iowacornfarmer]

Yes they aren't the cheapest around though, probably over $500 with shipping

No issues when I was running the Irate one piece up pipes.

Riffraff ones are well worth the money and still cheaper then the international versions of them. Also there made in the USA to boot

How did you manage to install them?

Very easy......remove turbo/DP and they drop right in....looks are deceiving

I tried new OEM donuts...they leaked, tried the Beans brass donuts...they leaked. Int'l has bellowed up-pipes for the OBS in the price range of $900. Int'l part# 1843486C92. Bar None Diesel makes a copy of the Int'l pipes but they are out of stock. http://www.barnonediesel.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=30

Junk

Irate one-piece (sold them when I went T4)

Well dang. Those look better than getting riff raff ones and a new collector. (Less leaks without collector)

I have the riffraff ones, and they are a fantastic product! No leaks even after pulling them off and reinstalling twice with the same gaskets they came with! Id highly recommend!

Being that I replace my stock gaskets every 50k, the bellowed sets sound pretty good especially if you replace the uppipes with factory.

I cheated on my install, i was installing a Tranny at the same time, so access was a breeze, i didnt even remove the turbo.

With the tranny on, I've heard pulling the turbo is the best option. Then you can get to all the bolts pretty easily. Hardest part is just getting all the old bolts out. I've heard some people end up having to cut every one! I was lucky and they all came out with a little persuasion. Just be sure to soak them in some Liquid wrench or some kind of penetrant for a few days before working on them!

It comes with new bolts as well, just be SURE you use anti-seize on the bolts, or they will be a b*tch to get them out in the future again!

Good luck!

I was going to say all we install here are oem pipes/donuts. $150 for the pair and they seem to last a long time. I guess if you put a ton of miles on your truck then maybe the bellowed are the way to go.
