    2018 RAM 2500 - 2nd Gen Swap - Exhaust?

    Alright, guys, I just scrapped the compounds for a 2nd Gen swap, and I'm running into a slight issue with my 5" FLO~PRO turbo-back exhaust.

    I had to bend and alter the FLO~PRO down pipe that connects to the downpipe provided with the WC Fab kit to clear the frame and trans lines.

    The issue I'm running into is when coming to a stop or taking off, the torque is flexing the pipe, which is hitting the frame.

    I feel a 4" turbo-back setup should solve my issue.

    Before I go the custom-fabrication route, I wanted to see what exhaust options are available for a 2nd Gen swap on a 4th g=Gen truck or what you guys are running/recommending.

    Attached are some pictures to see the pipe and where I had to bend and alter it to clear.

    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    My truck has a WC fab second Gen swap with a 5-inch AFE exhaust.

    I didn’t have to modify the down pipe.

    I’ve second Gen swapped quite a few trucks now with various exhaust setups.

    Usually, just loosen and rotate the down pipe and the adapter pipe until they match up.

    It can be a pain to get everything lined up, but I’ve never had too many issues.

    Can you bend the transmission lines closer to the transmission?

    Yeah, I tried clocking the downpipe counterclockwise as far as possible and still could not get the exhaust to clear the frame; that's why I started altering the exhaust to clear the frame rail.

    I can bend the trans lines some, but it clears them pretty well.

    Does anyone sell a 4" turbo-back?
