MBRP T304 CATBACK for 05' Cummins Install help

[AllGoodHaywood]

Hi guys just go my new MBRP exhaust in a day ago. It actually came in by the brand Silverline but the fit and finnish is excellent. I had no problems getting the stock system off (thanks to my Dewalt). But I had a hell of a time getting the turbo flange to mate with the new exhaust flange. There is one last rubber hanger that just would not go. Finally after 6 hours of pain and suffering and blood from scrapped knuckles, I just unbolted the last rubber hanger (2 bolts that connect a rubber sleve to the turbo down pipe) from the Dodge and I Finally got clamp and flanges to meet and be friends.



My question is, Will this cause damage from too much strain on the turbo being pulled with gravity and bounced around? Or am I just being paranoid?







THX,

it should be just fine. by BD exhaust downpipe hanger didn't quite line up either, but the BFH fixed that quickly

Am I missing something or does your thread title say you got a "cat-back"?



Why would you need to pull the turbo flange?

Turbo back not cat back

Your right, not typing what I am thinking, fat fingers
