Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Ok, so our exhaust piping is officially Holy.... most shops where we are are quoting $1000+ to replace from turbo back- either into a weedburner or a single stack. What are some sources that I can order pipe, clamps and hangers from? Quote Jim's Adventures Old Spacecraft.... Who knows whats next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydrvr Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I've always purchased mine directly from the dealer. It's always seemed reasonable priced, to me. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lappir Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Try another shop. I put a weed burner on my truck before I really ever started with it. It was expensive at the place I used. Two years ago the muffler went out and the shop I used replaced it for penny's it seemed. I used them again to evacuate and recharge my AC and it was 3 times the cost of the guy 10 miles away who usually took care of me but was in the field when I needed it done. Next time I will plan better or wait.

jenandjon Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 If you are even remotely skilled with a wrench you can do it yourself. Replacing the entire exhaust is a piece of cake. Replacing part of the exhaust can be difficult as everything is rusted together. Just get parts from the dealer. Then you know you all the right stuff.

Then you know you all the right stuff. That's what I'm planning on doing.. Most Volvo dealers are higher than buying the parts if their generic, and having an old Cummins engine sometimes confuses the young parts counter guys... The only thing Parrformance left out was the turbo exhaust piece for Cummins... and I need to see what hangers are under mine. Easier to replace with the same type hanger than trying a new style mount. Quote Jim's Adventures Old Spacecraft.... Who knows whats next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess, I'd say I'm getting about 10 years out of the exhaust system. Maybe longer, if you consider I only replaced the stack last time. The run from the exhaust manifold back seems to last forever. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyA Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Jim, I received an email a couple of months back from truckpipesusa.com that most all exhaust parts, clamps, etc. were in short supply due to Covid (I posted this on the forum). Many items they stock were on backorder. You might want to call and check on availability of parts before you get into the problems of order delays. I decided to put my exhaust upgrade on hold until parts (and maybe prices?) were better. Besides, it is cold and wet and mine would be outside work. If you can find what you need in stock somewhere it might be wise to get them before someone else does.
