Semi Truck Exhaust...

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?

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the layout pic, that actually helps.  Their prices are on the higher side but it is stainless.... decisions.... Any idea how long an aluminized system will last?

I've had my truck for 16 years. 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

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.

Here in Florida an aluminized system will last as long as the truck will.  Not so sure in the areas where they spray the ice melt solution on the road.

I'm running into the lack of parts/empty supply chain in my job as well.  Once I figure out exactly what I need I'll source all I can locally if the price allows.  Not crawling under this rig for a few days at least, with a week of rain/ice, the ground is a wee bit wet...

We have tried hard to stay away from driving when roads have been sprayed.  Maybe 1000 miles since 2014 and have always kept the undercarriage washed as much as possible.

Just a proper sign of respect.

Still grateful to you and Miss Alie

We're just happy that we were able to pass along a way that helps to spend your children's inheritance!

So far so good should run out of money long before I pass at this rate😂

If you are not going to work on it for a little while you should start spraying all the nuts with some good penetrating fluid. PB blaster works really well.

Got my PB Blaster ready, and a little acetone and hydraulic fluid mixed as well.  It's gotta dry out enough here that I don't drown under the truck...
