I found plenty of ready made Decat pipes but they had a 4 bolt flange at the turbo..

What flange set up do yours have?

that's all I could find also.

Email alive tuning,they sell them. Pat

Also i dont have any proof of the comment i am about to make but simply speculative. I think a 3 inch s/s exhaust with a CAT and centre muffler would provide pretty much the same flow you get by basically making the standard exhaust straight through. I wouldn't imagine that theres much in it execpt $$$.
That is purely an assumption made on the fact that my tune for example is around 160-170hp with 440-460nm. If i was making close to 200hp and 500nm + then i would consider a full 3 inch exhaust system. You have to consider that the 2.2 tdci is a LT diesel engine and its showcase strength is its low down torque thanks to the little VGT turbo doing a great job. If your going to spend decent $$$ then consider other things before wasting it on a exhaust system you dont need. Maybe a oil catch can, egt gauge and coolant gauge. These 3 items are cheaper than that exhaust and will provide a lot more benfit for your $$. Just saying, hope that helps. If not.....sorry but i think its good advice

One other thing; i used a terrafirma straight through centre muffler replacement pipe. This combined with the decat and i replaced the standard rear muffler with a slightly bigger one (got it for free otherwise would have left it) of a sports exhaust for a ranger has cost me around $450.

Thanks Nandi.
I appreciate your advice.
I have already bought the Redarc EGT/Boost gauge and Oil/Water temp gauge. Just have to decide where to mount them and then get my mechanic in Cairns to do the fitting job for me.
I'm closely following the Oil catch can thread, and will probably fit a Proventil 200 series catch can.
The straight through pipe option for the centre muffler sounds good, and a cost saving. Would certainly help with temps on the cabin as well. I do have a nice exhaust shop fella here in Innisfail who does basic welding and fabrication jobs for me on the 110. I don't think he has a mandrel, but I'll drop in and see him on Monday to discuss my needs and the brains trusts' advice and suggestions, and see if he can do the work in stainless for me.
More to follow.
Thanks again fellas.
Ken

Then the rearward section is the factory 2.375" pipe and resonator...

Back pipe cut and turned.

There is absolutely no restriction to flow with this set up...

I like that L bracket tab welded on to your turbo pipe. Is that so the original heat shield can go back on?
