Replace that restrictive factory downpipe with a MBRP direct replacement downpipe for more flow, fuel economy, and better performance.
While the search for more power for your LLY, LBZ or LMM Duramax powered vehicle usually leads you down the path of exhaust, intake and tuner, one item that is often overlooked is the factory restrictive turbo direct pipe. MBRP has addressed this restrictive component of the factory exhaust with our new turbo direct pipe replacement that mounts between your factory turbo and your exhaust system. Featuring full 16 gauge mandrel bent tubing for maximum flow, and an extremely durable high temperature ceramic coating, these pipes deepen the sound of your V8 diesel engine while lowering EGT's and providing quicker throttle response.

+Jake Burfield man I'm really glad to hear that thanks for the comment
Check out Duramax_Diesel pretty good as well
@@rodleypumpkins4174 your videos are really good, had a 02 duramax rebuilt with a few mods. Trans will not hold out forever. Suncoast does build a great trans. I think im going to have whittys diesel do mine. Im also adding the 6th gear. Im going to have them lock up the convertor in 4th 5th and 6th. By the way, just your opinion on HP ratings. Im running a 50 over block, 64 mm turbo, studded heads, 100 hp injectors, 100 hp fuel air dog, 4 inch stainless off road racing exhaus, bank air rram system. EFI Live performed by Industrial Injection systems and racing. The trucks like a 9700lb rocket. What would be yoyr opinion on the HP. Wouldnt hold ya 2 it

I did it! I installed the MBRP down pipe on my LLY 2005 Duramax diet today! Took about 4 hours but I did it! Thanks for the assist brother!
OMG, I have been battling with the top heat shield for several hours now. Gonna try a saw. Thanks BP Traveler.
Followed your steps exactly today on my LLY. Went flawlessly. Thanks for the great video.
+Michael Mazurenko perfect! Glad I could help
Once again awesome video. Last week I just installed my 5 inch turbo back on my 06 3500 LBZ. Thanks too this video I'm installing my MBRP 3 inch down pipe today. Thanks again for all the great vids. Keep them coming.
Thanks for the encouragement I’m glad they helped!
I installed my PPE downpipe today on my 2005 LLY I finished in about two and a half hours the video was very helpful thank you bro keep it up
+John Campbell very cool I'm glad it work out
great video..thanks for spending the time doing it...I plan on doing the larger exhaust along with the down pipe later next month. I wasn't thinking about the down pipe..but after talking to an engineer today ..he told me it was a must with the high egt's with the stock pipe.
I just bought an LLY 11/7/18. First diesel ever. Watched plenty of yours and other vids before purchase. Ended up with a banks 4" full exhaust, banks ram air kit, banks six gun and a AFE air inlet. $9k 253××× miles. Oh and brand spankin new tires too. Wouldn't have known what to look for without you. Thank you
Just finished installing one from PPE. Just a hint to others, I removed the turbo shield by removing the bolts, holding it up off the turbo and cutting it in half front to back with a sawsall. It was easy to get out and I could reinstall it. Thanks for you video it was a great help, as usual.
If anybody sees this, it is the difference between having a headache and making things easy. Unbolt the passenger side body bolts, there’s at least two, mine had 3+ the one extra under the headlight. Raise the body off the frame about an inch and a half on the passenger side only and the job is as easy as can be. The exhaust will fall out, the turbo heat shield will come right off without having to cut it. If one person sees this it was worth posting
That's definitely the easiest I've seen that 3" installed! Got my lmm with the heat shield all around my turbo to get 1st. Great informative video! 👍 Thanks Truck MASTER 🤠
I been deep frying my turkeys for about 10 years! Best way to cook em! Sooo juicy! Love your videos by the way. Just got a 2007 classic and I love learning from you!
I will take a turkey leg LOL. I watch alot of u tube upgrades for duramax, Your channels are a great help for my 2006 LBZ
Feel blessed your not doing this on an LB7. 3rd night attempting this. Finally got the dipstick bolts out. Turbo heat shield was the easiest. Had to cut the bracket that is above the lower band clamp. Today I finally got the last bolt out of the middle of the long heat shield to remove it. All that is the same between the trucks, however, I have 12 point bolts going all around the turbo that now have to come out compared to one band clamp.

Great channel by the way!
I just got my down pipe in the mail today I'm gonna put it on tonight! If it wasn't for this video i wouldn't have know were to even start. Thanks man!

+ducatiman900620 much appreciated thanks
(My EGR Delete/Intake pipe arrived today)
Effing Sweet.
Just came across your channel today. This is the second vid of your’s that I have watched. Pretty insightful how you go about doing DIY videos. I like it. I recently got my first diesel. Also an ‘07 Silverado LBZ. I plan on doing this at some point in the future. Along with a few other things. Nothing too crazy though. Thanks for the info. Keep it up. 👍
Thanks I appreciate it
Have to say. Excellent videos. Got an Lly with 440k an still running great. Wanting to do this mod, after watching this. Gone to give it a shot.
You got this
Stock at 440k ? Just bought an lly so happy absolutely love this truck
I'm getting ready to start on this and the up pipe tomorrow after I finish wrapping up my y bridge install
Awesome vid. Just finished mine. Took about 2 hours start to finish.
+Zac A. Not bad glad it worked out for you
You save my sanity time and time again working on my twin (now that yours is red) of your truck!
Your channel is awesome man. I have the same truck only red and love it. I will be looking to your video's to upgrade my truck. Thanks very much for your work
My 2007 GMC 2500 Classic LBZ came shipped without a Turbo Heat Shield. I bought one off eBay for Around $60.00, I used my Metabo with a .045 cutting wheel and cut it in half, using 1 bolt hole on the passenger side and 2 bolt holes on the Drivers side. Put the larger section on the driver's side first then the smaller piece last. Took about 10 minutes and I feel better about the fuel lines and wiring harness being protected from the heat. I'm not telling you to take it off or on, the correct way of taking it off and on is to raise the truck cab off the frame at least 6 inches. If you are working at home there is no way to do this so just cut it in half for easy removal and installation. It was designed for a purpose is all I'm saying. I'm a subscriber to this channel and enjoy the videos even the few I don't agree with Truck Master does a great job explaining and installing.
Great vid guy. Helped convince me it's not so hard after all 😊
Been looking for a channel like this for a long time, this is awesome man
+GregK I really appreciate thanks
Great video. My experience was slightly different. The worst part was the heat shield on the turbo. A huge pain. Had to slice off the driver's side section of the heat shield to access the V-band clamp. I also had to remove my trans dipstick completely in order to get the stock down pipe out. Took about two inches off the bottom of it to refit it back into the trans. All in all, this is a huge pain of a job but I really like the smoother, lower toned exhaust sound, and it doesn't screech. Supposed to lower EGT as well. My lower mounting bracket on the aftermarket down pipe did not want to line up.
+J N what a nightmare! I’m glad you got it done though
Love the channel man. 👍🏻
+Dustin Salisbury thanks
Ur truck is sick..i love my LBZ also. Best dmax ever made. 13 years later ....
Thanks watch some of my newest videos the truck looks totally different
Mannnn I just loveeee the duramax whistle from the turbo
+drod459 me too it never gets old
word of advice, I'm doing this on my truck now and i haven't deleted the EGR yet. There's not much room to get the heat shields off with EGR intact, delete EGR before tackling the down pipe. Your bloody hands will thank you! I'm not going to be able to pull shield up thru like TM did going to see if i can pull it down thru today. If i get the middle bolt on shield off.
Appreciate the videos, Your an inspiration man!!!
Great video man 👍🏽
Awesome videos man. Thanks for your service!
+Diesel Power thanks man
later next month came earlier than expected on my down pipe and exhaust install..so I dug into it this weekend..It went pretty smooth except for a few things I hope will help others.
When you remove the turbo heat shield..its makes it a lot easier if you remove the glow-plug module and the bracket..then bend the heat shield in the middle to make it into a shape of a(M) then you can slide it out where the glow plug module was. I was able to put it back in place then bend it back as close as original form..( I was only able to get 2 of the 3 screws back in)
but before you do all that...I would loosen the lower bracket support that holds the down pipe to the exhaust manifold and confirm that the original one is not cracked..(mine was broken in 3 pieces) and they are known to brake They are tack welded onto the exhaust manifold next to each bolt. I removed one bolt at a time and chiseled the broken pieces off.
The bracket is available at dealer if you buy the new down pipe(what a joke) but at ProFab PerformanceProduct Code: lly-lmmdpsupport
The reason why I say to check this first is..you cannot install this bracket unless the down pipe is out of the way.. So my project is on hold until it gets delivered.. Also when you re-clamp the top clamp on the turbo..move the nut to 10 o'clock so you can remove it easier if you ever have to ..the heat shield can be pushed back against the firewall and you have access to the nut.I hope this helps someone..
+larry beaudry great write up and good luck luck getting that finish!
All I can say is that everyone who has made a video of a downpipe audio - in person wow 😯 it whistles !!!! I have the air horn so that helps - I still haven’t put on the turbo wheel 🛞
Your so detailed In everything !
+Joey Ioffredo thanks brother
Hola bro mi troka es 01 LB7 6.6 duramax estoy trabajando en las pipas del turbo son de mucha ayuda tus videos muy detallados me gusta porque explicas con precisión varios detalles voy a esperar más videos y gracias por compartir lo que sabes es de mucha ayuda sigue así bro
Thank you. I wouldn't have even attempted to put a downpipe in without your video. Awesome content!
👍
Man I love your VIDS you expla8n down to the t.... Man thank for that
Thanks 🙏
Another great video man! Sounds rad! My egr delete and intake arrive in the next couple days... I'll be reviewing yer install video...
Hell yeah!
+James Dean good luck with that Install if you have any questions shoot me a email
Yes sir, I definitely will if I need to.
Great video! I've often wondered about doing this as I know of the egt and performance gains but have hesitated because I use mine to tow. I really have no use for the extra noise in the cab on long hauls, rather listen to the stereo. My LLY is ready for exhaust and I have considered pairing something like this with a system that includes a muffler like Borla. Hey, thanks again for the solid content. Cheers!
Love the channel man! Nice videos.
+Duramax Style thanks man
Love the channel man!
keep it up.
+Brandon Smithwick thanks brother
Cooking a yard bird while working on the truck, I like your style!
+Pig Farmer Ben lol thanks brother
Videos are awesome very informative
Thanks
Awesome man nice videos
Great video man! I always learn something when I watch your videos it’s like going to school. Hey I was just thinking you should invest in a laser pointer so that you can point things out easier. Love your channel brother!
Great idea 👍 thanks
@@TruckMaster Hey brother I just received my “Duramax Life” key tag for my newly purchased 2005 GMC Sierra SLT Duramax diesel 2500 HD. I have a 2004 GMC 1500 Sierra SLT which I bought the “Truck Life” key tag for my truck, I love them! Both of my trucks are identical inside and out. I have to send you a picture of them side by side. I will be installing the down pipe today! I really love having you as a resource you explain things really well plus I’ve just watched two other videos that both referenced you as the video they watched before installing the down pipe.
The too nut on the transmission dipstick is really easy to get to with a deep well socket, a universal and an extension.
what a beautiful truck, doing all the right stuff just kills me to see the rust 😬 very sweet truck though and great videos.
+Kyla Neff thanks I plan to pull the cab and bed and blast the frame I'm hoping to make it look new again
Hey man your videos are really helpful I have almost the same truck and have done alot of upgrades that you have suggested so thanks
Thanks man 👍
A word of advice for anyone doing this job, if your doing it on an LMM duramax you’ll have to cut off the top heat shield and do not try to take the downpipe heatshield out through the bottom. It will save you hours
great info,thanks.
I too appreciate the lack filthy language.
Not easy 2do but the kids benefit also.
My 1st time here.
Do you have plans for the up pipe?? Is yours a LLY?
Just came in today , for a weeknd project
And NOT ONE Cuss Word..... How do you do it?? lol Thanks for the Awesome Vids!
+Phil G. Lol I never is profanity in my videos man it’s a bad image take care
Right on Man. I'm a new Sub, Just picked up an 08 2500HD Duramax so I'm going through ALOT/ALL of your video's. GREAT STUFF, SIR!!!
I just did this tonight and it wasn't too bad of a job. The only thing for me though the tab on the dp didn't line back up with the bolt hole, but it was sitting flush in the turbo
+Luke Tanner that's weird it could be a manufacture flaw. But either way as long as it's connected to the turbo and exhaust, you should be good
Mine didn't line up either and I am kinda worried it might break the turbo housing. Should I try readjusting it or do you think it may be a manufacture error?
Did you just loosen the bracket on the dipstick and it came loose? I'm doing mine tonight all the guys on the forum make it sound so much more difficult then the way you make it look lol love the channel thanks for all the help brother
Fixin to order mine
All that work....sure made me hungary at the end!!
Well now that the billet has been installed and running great I just ordered a downpipe and just waiting for it to arrived your videos help a tremendous amount and so looking forward for more upgrades! And vids! What's the next project for your Dmax?
+roland salinas that's cool man I really thinking about. Lift pump
Wassup man love you vids! Just bought my first Duramax 6.6 L diesel wanted to know what are some of the first recommendations for modifications on that motor what would you recommend I also would like to know what’s the best downpipe brand and air horn I have the motor out and I’m looking to do some things to it before I put it in thanks
I'm doing this job as I type this. Along with the up pipe passenger side due to egr delete. And head gaskets at same time.takes some time and four letter words 😂
That turkey looks good buddy
Cool videos bro seen them all!How many of these mods are really necessary??
Hey man great video! I have a 2005 GMC Sierra duramax and I installed the airdog 4g and I want to put a pressure regulator, where do you think I could find that, I called the company and they didn’t have it ?
Good job.
Dod u have to put the gasket between the new 3"" and the exhaust pipe thanks
Nice now i wonder if i want to add a str8t pipe to my 04 avalanche since i install a intak 😕
At 9:30 that a/c condescension drip tube in video, I just bought an LBZ and the heater core was thought to be leaking by seller and me, but found out it was that lil 90 deg tube turned up and backing up the water so bad it was leaking on vinyl floor and mixing with some orangish Texas dirt! Haha it looked like dex cool at first I thought oh no heater cause of the intense labor involved with replacing a heater core in these 99 up trucks. Lucky me it was just the tube got turned up.
I finally got the down pipe out of my lmm. I had to remove the oil line to transmission and bingo. I was stuck on this part because he left his in. I think I might up grade this pipe while I’m swapping turbo. Finally I can go past 3:48 of the other video. Ha...
Same here man I'm like wtf everyone else got theirs off with the dip stick on. I was able to get the top heatshield off in 2mins without breaking or cutting it but I can't get the damn pipe.out
About to do the same, with ppe manifolds and up pipes to my LML. How tough was it to mate the down pipe flush to the turbo? And just wondering, why did you not go with the high flow manifolds when you did the up pipes? I know you mentioned reliability. Can you explain, would be much appreciated to help me avoid a mistake. Thanks bro, great work.
Great video.
I am about to do the same to my 06 LBZ.
How was the turkey?
Were there codes to clear after removing the intake heater and old egr stuff ?
Looks like you have a crack in the exhaust pipe just to the left of the lower dp clamp?
You didnt show how that Turkey came out bro :) your videos long winded but if your looking for one bit of info on a project will help ease the pain of the task much appreciated. Swapping a stealth 64 in a lbz at the moment
@truck master, was thinking of doing this down pipe on my 07 3500 LBZ.. would it be better to do the up pipes as well and the exhaust manifolds at the same time? I don't plan on touching the turbo or buying oversized injectors... Just want tolower the egt. And make a nice towing machine.. the 07 has 175k on it now. Thoughts?
Hey love the channel! Plan on this could you give me a complete tool size list?
I've got a similar setup to you, manifolds, up-pipes, downpipe, turbo, etc. My question is regarding the transmission dipstick tube, I ended up accidentally breaking the tack welded bracket and now there's a hole in the tube and it's just floating around back there not attached to anything. I have the 3" PPE downpipe, I can't run the driver side transmission tube because of the glow plug module, so, can I just order a new tube for the driver side even though I'm running that downpipe, will it fit?
If you install a non-EGR downpipe, can you remove the EGR entirely? Or does something else need to change?
Hi Truck Master, I have the 2004.5 LLY duramax. I am in the process of deleting my EGR, installing the pusherintake supermax intake system and diver side charge tube, max flow up pipe without the piping to the EGR and a MBRP down pipe. With the new up pipe and down pipe installed, the transmission dip tube bracket will not reach the 2 mounting bolts. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.
Throwback! I’m gonna throw one on my LML. I assume it’s pretty close to the same install. By the way, deep fried turkey is the only way to go.
Got a 3inch down from MBRP also. I followed you instructions watched video 3 times and I still can’t figure out why I can’t get the factory down to disconnect from the turbo. Lots of lube the first 24 hours. Now I’ve been driving around all week with no v band clamp in hopes that it will pop off. Any suggestions?
When is the best time to tighten the transmission dip stick bracket bolts? What a pain after the bigger downpipe is in….
What do you think of MBRP down pipe vs ProFab down pipe? Rick @ ProFab has stated their stance is that the bottom of their down pipe doesn't need the bolt tab for support down low. Other MFG down pipes have the tab. What are your thoughts?
What tires and rims and also I have diesel leaking out the side of my LBZ on the fender what do you think this is
i wish i would have cut it too!!! could have saved me a lot of time and hassle !!
Bro I’m strugglin with my downpipe. I have it loose but it will not come out of there. You made it look too easy is there any tips you can give me?
A real OG man dude is legit 100% id drink with him
Did you have any issues with dipstick tube wanting to rest up against the pipe? Installed one just now on my 06 and the dipstick tube is making contact with my new pipe.
Just a thought for ya, but with my 07 lbz the turbo veins are sticking at high rpm off and on, wonder if you havent done a vid on it, myb you would in the future!
I'm egr deleted with a beefier uppipe. What downpipe will work with the beefier uppipe cause I'm having problems trying to get it even on the turbo. The uppipe bellow is in the way. What do I do? I already threw out the stock uppipe so there's no going back now.
Nice truck man, I have the same the truck just different color. What's that blue pipe that you have in you're engine? And also do you recommend doing this when you live in California? Especially with all the smog laws
Upon installing the downpipe is the dip stick laying on top of the pipe???
