12-17-2011, 11:08 AM #1I want a new exhaust on my '84 300 SD. Going to do everything myself instead of taking it to a shop. Really would like 3.5 inch pipe all the way back. With a flex tube and a glass pack. How should a go about making the downpipe? And the turbo flange? (I don't have a pipe bender)

If you have a welder, you can get a 45 degree mandrel bent piece and adapt it on the stock turbo.

12-17-2011, 12:14 PM #43 inch is all you need. And if you're not going to upgrade the turbo and add fuel its a lot of work for minimal gains (other than to your ears).

12-19-2011, 12:34 PM #14The way I plan on running a full exhaust is buying 3 or 4 flex sections and a couple 10ft sections from the local exhaust shop, using the flex sections for the bends, cutting the appropriate straight sections and clamping them together.

Have you ever had one off? You'll see what I mean. But if it's truly backed off all the way and not resting on that plunger that limits fuel. Then, it's the same as if it was removed.
My last 617 dropped bombs when I took the alda off but, that's not the case with this one. I dunno why. Pump is set different I guess.

Some old timey guy told me they used to shim under the nut that holds the alda in place with a coin. Even if the alda is maxed all the way out it the whole unit can be too far down.

Yes. Big difference. Just go pop it off, it takes 5 minutes. If for any reason you don't like it, just go put it back on. Make sure you plug or remove the boost line if you remove it.

Yeah, I have removed the one on this car and my previous. It was not super easy. I needed to make a huge box wrench. I think I grinded a smaller into 1-1/8 or something cause I didn't have one. And put a steel shaft into where the alda vac line would be. Add a breaker bar to that and then it will "pop right off"

12-28-2011, 08:43 PM #33My buddy has one. Yea it likes to crinkle the pipe in the center. You want a Bender that pulls the pipe along with it, not one that trust to snap it in the middle like a toothpick

"If your bending tubing with this, weld a cap onto one end of your tubing, fill the entire tube with sand and weld a cap on the second end. So should have a tube with a cap on either end, and packed with sand. Then do your bends on your tube, you will get mandrel bends this way, meaning the tube will be nearly perfectly round after bending it on the bender instead of crimping or kinking. Cut both ends off and save sand for next tube. Your products will come out cleanly with this method."
Not a bad idea... might not work but it makes sense. The sand would keep the pipe from crushing when bending. If you can get a shop to bend/weld everything for $175 I think that is a better deal. Unless you are planning to do more cars haha.

Here is a picture of thin, EZ to crink and screw up copper tubing. I filled it with salt, pack it so that there is no voids, crimped the ends and I coiled this by hand a few years ago. This is 10' or 15' feet of tubing, so I was a little surprised how little the coil ended up being. The key is to make sure the sand or whatever medium you are using is tightly packed with no voids. I used a simple $5 tube bender and inserted a steel pipe thru the center of the tube bender for leverage. As for something big and thick, same theory should apply except you will need something correspondingly bigger.
