post 2.2 downpipes

Nitemare · 11-03-2009, 10:53 PM

post up your custom 2.2 downpipe!

i just recently got mine hooked on something coming into a driveway, and ripped it open. it looks like the stock piping is 1.75"

my plans are to do a 2-2.5" downpipe off the stock manifold to a magnaflow spun high flow cat (already have) and magnaflow stainless muffler (already have).

i know a lot of trucks on here are bagged and shit, so you guys must be routing the exhaust creatively to prevent it from getting ruined.

post up! i need ideas!

mostizzle · 11-03-2009, 11:55 PM

sumone shouldn give that oval tubing a try. i know all the craps available the straights,bends and the mufflers in many different sizes. you'd gain sum ground clearance for sure

Nitemare · 11-04-2009, 06:28 AM

oval pipes are for squares and i aint no square

Lifted97s-10 · 11-04-2009, 12:34 PM

Maybe search...or just raise up your truck.

the first 2 links are about 4.3's and headers

the 3rd link is soda cans next to frames

and the 4th link would actually be helpful if the pictures worked.

i did search and found this 4th link, but the pics dont work and it doesnt help me.

Lifted97s-10 · 11-04-2009, 04:04 PM

the third link you actually have to read pretty far into...you wanted help i offered. Don't like it than quit bitching and search yourself. Or buy a 4.3 and follow the first 2 links

Nitemare · 11-04-2009, 04:14 PM

oh yeah dude by a 4.3 and swap it in that's way easier than rerouting an exhaust thanks for the good input

Lifted97s-10 · 11-04-2009, 06:47 PM

WOAH...your just complicating it. Don't swap a 4.3 in. Just buy a truck with a 4.3 already in it...problem solved. ORR maybe raise your truck up. So it can still function...as a truck. Even tho the 2.2 really wouldn't be good for hauling..well..anything

Nitemare · 11-04-2009, 11:24 PM

ok does any one have any input on how i should run my exhaust?

stockchevy1983 · 11-05-2009, 08:09 AM

actually 2.2's can haul pretty much anything. i hauled alot of shit when i was doing construction/landscaping. most i have was over 1000 lbs in back of truck. was weighed in at a warehouse.

2Krazy · 11-05-2009, 09:38 AM

Yeah i agree with stockchevy1983. I've hauled trailer loads of scrap to the scrap yard with my 97 S10 2.2 5speed while my dads full size was broke. i rolled over the scale once with 4500pounds on the trailer. The guy inside asked me if i was trying to kill that little truck.

Lifted97s-10 · 11-06-2009, 12:17 AM

Haha hell yea. Looks good too. Do you still have a crushed downpipe?? Guess being low doesn't pay off.

ablues10 · 11-06-2009, 12:31 AM

Damn, no need to be a dick head youngin.

So, I am having problems with my flex pipe breaking. So I too want to see custom downpipes. Anyone have something done other than stock?

s10pimpin209 · 11-06-2009, 12:35 AM

word^ just some haters. . let get them pics rollin'

i have been meaning to change the down pipe and just raise it ... some other ideas would be nice

mostizzle · 11-06-2009, 01:02 AM

mines stock but it doesn't hang down past the frame at all. i don't know if anything from the cat forward has been messed with but i know not one part of my exhaust hangs down past the frame. i'll have to try n get sum pics this weekend and show of my bonk ass rusty year old muffler and mismatched cat lol

Nitemare · 11-06-2009, 01:02 AM

it appears that my flex pipe broke right off the flange.

but it is obvious by how smashed and ruined the rest of the pipe is, that it got hung up on something and destroyed.

stock downpipe is 1.75" so i want to make one that is larger and out of the way

Nitemare · 11-06-2009, 01:03 AM

i will be selling my cat back 05 jetta system if anyone wants it.. it's a direct bolt in cat back uses stock hanger and everything

colbye32 · 11-06-2009, 01:08 AM

why not buy a header, it comes with a downpipe thats out of the way..

my truck is bagged and i have a pacesetter, its up above the frame, it doesnt even come close to hitting the ground when i lay out. its 2 1/4"

Nitemare · 11-06-2009, 01:17 AM

thats a route i was going to go.

i thought about getting the obx header and downpipe special.

djleighk15 · 11-06-2009, 01:35 AM

dont know why oval so bad...i mean we have 2.2s its not like were gonna get any slower... I personally have a larger size pipe, hit with a hammer ovaled it up and im good to go...didnt lose any power and im above the frame..thats all i care

mostizzle · 11-07-2009, 09:46 PM

i think spin tech makes oval tube in alot of if different sizes and sum of it huge. when it comes time to do my exhaust i'm rockin oval tubing

Nitemare · 11-07-2009, 11:46 PM

just get a normal pipe and step on it then it's oval

mostizzle · 11-08-2009, 12:00 AM

thats retarded,not to mention if u can flatten sum exhaust tubing just by steppin on it ur a fat bastard lol

Hahah so true. But ya oval tubing is by far your best bet. Your not gonna really gain anything with the headers and downpipe because it's not really being restricted already. And if you did gain anything at all it'd be very minimal. Just do oval tubing and save your money

you must not be familiar with the tutu.

stock downpipe is only 1.75" pipe. the obx header i ordered has a 2.5" down pipe. much mo powa. also if you look at a tutu manifold, the primaries are soo small and stupid shaped. obx hedda ftw? i'll make a thread next weekend when it comes in.

So you really think that because of this new exhaust the 2.2 is gonna be pushing out tons more power? There is a reason the piping is already that small to start with.

Nitemare · 11-16-2009, 03:48 PM

i wouldnt say tons more power, but more. i'll let you know.

Lifted97s-10 · 11-17-2009, 03:03 PM

sounds good. I am sure it has the equivalence of a 2.5" y-pipe on a 4.3 when it comes to noticeability from the butt dyno
