Diamond eye down pipe installed!

[1SIKDZL]

Finally got around to installing my diamond eye down pipe tonight, and it was a b!tch! I am envious to those of you that claim they have done it in 40 mins because it took me almost 2 hours and I like to consider myself decent with a wrench. Either way, it is done now and awesome! It totally eliminated the annoying screetching that my truck was making when I would lay into it hard. Seems like it spools a tad quicker and sounds waaaayyy better with my 5" straight pipe. I have to say thanks to Brian for coming over to give me a hand with it tonight :hug:. For sure made the install easier with his help. I would recommend getting an after market DP for those of you that don't have one yet.

how did you like those 10 mm bolts on the stock down pipe shield what a bitch lol i know what you mean .

 

[1SIKDZL]

That was the worst part man, along with those damn trans dip stick tube nuts. Luckily my truck is way lifted so it made it easy to lay under it and work, but glad to be done.:thumb:

Glad to help :hug:

Very odd for me looking "up" at a downpipe :spit:

 

[1SIKDZL]

I think I may have turned you onto lifted trucks after seeing how easy it is to work under them and the looks we were getting driving around in it from those girls haha

 

[hondarider552]

We pulled the girls cuz of my good looks, not cuz of your truck.

 

[1SIKDZL]

Lmao! Is that why we got the bird from that other one? Haha

 

[hondarider552]

Sadly, yes.

Do you have ratcheting wrenches? They were invaluable fot that heat sheild, which i ripped out and di not put back, helped to hit that 45min mark, i think i musta just got lucky
It does sound a billion times better, and soo much healthier, i only have a 4" D.E quite tone and the DP still made a noticeable but good difference!

Congratulations, but be ready for the powerchokes, they envy

 

[Hot COCOAL]

Im jealous that there are guys like brian and james that always seem so willing to help others in their area....
Seattle sucks

 

[1SIKDZL]

I didn't have ratcheting wrenched or it would have been way easier. My hands were just way to big lol. And the power chokes here around my side of town don't worry me, haven't came across one yet that can run me down :thumbup:

 

[Hot COCOAL]

Oh no, no no no, they dont bother me a bit, i have just noticed since the downpipe install they seem to notice me more and think they wanna show me somethin,
And they do, they show me how glad i am to own a d-max

 

[1SIKDZL]

I hear that man! :thumbup:

 

[whitetrash21]

Did mine when the heads were off.....waaay easier. Know what you mean about the sound, 5" straight pipe on mine made that screech nasty.

I put tho pro fab on my truck sounds so much nicer and yea not fun doing it either but I did an egr delete at the same time. Glad u like it I love mine

 

[1SIKDZL]

I noticed that it also seemed to quite the cab noise down a bit also, especially driving at freeway speed. Overall it was a great mod and the truck sounds even better now

 

[ltr450ryder]

Yes at freeway speeds so much nicer inside the can

 

[duramaxzaya]

Yeah I'm working on mine it sucks can't seem to get the stock DP out no matter how hard I try

Loosen the trans dipstick tube. It will come out.

X2, take off the front pipe, and start twisting. I was surprised how easy it came out, but getting the trans tube back i was a PITA. Without wanting to bend things up to bad.
