 blessed day out there. As you can see, we have frostbite hauler truck on the lift. We're going to be working on the exhaust system today. This is my 2017 Ram 2500 Cummins long bed crew cab 4x4 and we're going to be putting 5 inch exhaust from the turbo back. The truck is currently fully deleted and it's running the stock 4 inch piping from the turbo back. So we're going to be ditching that, going with a complete turbo back 5 inch kit from Yikotu and it should be a pretty straightforward swap. So let's get to it. Alright, so real quick, this is the box that the entire system came in. Pretty big box. The shipping company did beat it up pretty bad, but luckily everything was here and nothing fell out of the box. Now, this is the complete system laid out. This is going to be the tailpipe section and again, this is all 5 inch stainless steel piping. They supply you with clamps, hardware, all the pipe sections pretty straightforward. Everything looks really nice. None of the pipes were beat up. This is going to be the turbo downpipe right here and again, 5 inch full kit all the way back to the tailpipe for my long bed. This kit is supposed to fit the 13 to 18 ram 2500s and 3500s. Other thing I want to go over real quick, they do send you a piece of paper in here with some instructions showing you how everything lays out. A little bit of instructions on how to remove the old system and install the new system along with if you have a mega cab, crew cab, regular cab, so forth. If you have any of the shorter trucks, you may have to shorten some of the piping. It just depends. I feel like since we have the long bed, crew cab, I don't think we're going to have to cut anything. I would imagine so we will see. So we're going to raise up the truck real quick, get the old system unbolted and we will lay it next to the new Yucatu 5 inch exhaust kit. So let's get this big boy up in the air and start taking off some old 4 inch exhaust pipe. All right, before we start with the new system, let's get a sound comparison of before and after. So this is the factory 4 inch exhaust system turbo back that's fully deleted on my truck. So let's hear what it sounds like. That was the factory 4 inch turbo back fully deleted exhaust sound on my crew cab long bed. So stay tuned. We're going to install this 5 inch kit real quick and it'll basically be a complete swap from 4 inch to 5 inch. That's all we're changing. So let's see what it sounds like. Let's get it done. All right, real quick underneath the truck, I want to point out a few things that I would do before you get started. One would be all of the clamps on the factory system. I would get under here with some WD-40 or some PB Blaster and spray all of the bolts and nuts that you can see with some sort of penetrating oil before you start this and maybe even let it sit for about 30 minutes or so before you get started. Also, another good thing to spray will be all of the exhaust hangers, all these rubber mounts. Try to spray them with some penetrating oil on the little post. That way the exhaust will slide out a lot easier. Just a thought beforehand. So let's get it out. All right guys, we got the old exhaust out. As you can see, we have it laid next to the new 5 inch turbo back exhaust. Definitely still pretty big difference between 4 and 5 inch. That's for sure. 4 inch factory piping and 5 inch Yaikotu turbo back exhaust. So let's check it out. Looks like everything's pretty much about the same. So we're going to start bolting up the new Yaikotu exhaust. So stay tuned. All right guys, we have ran into one issue so far. So this is the factory downpipe right here. This is the new Yaikotu downpipe for the 5 inch kit. What we ran into is the factory flange. The factory flange to the turbo is pretty much like a flat flange. And right here on the new pipe, it's kind of set up more for like a donut type ball and swivel kind of deal. It's not really flat. So what we're running into is when we try to clamp it to the turbo, it's still loose because there's not enough material to get inside the clamp very well. So what we're going to do is we're going to try to take some pliers or a hammer and we're going to try to flatten out this flange a little bit more. That way it, in theory, it kind of lengthens it or makes it a little bit more flat. That way our clamp will actually get a hold of it and be able to tighten everything down. So we're going to give that a whirl and see how that goes. But here we go. Alright, so what we're doing is we're getting some pliers and I'm just bending this flange down a little bit more like so. And we're just kind of more or less stretching that flange out and making it a little bit flatter. So the factory band will get a hold of it. Spin it around a little bit. And again, I'm not, you know, sometimes with aftermarket parts, they don't fit exactly perfect. But small thing to have to do right here, not a big deal. Alright, now that we took the pliers and we also used a hammer to kind of flatten out this flange a little bit more, you can see now that we put it up to the factory downpipe, it is literally almost the identical diameter all the way around and nice and flat. So that should work. We should be able to get the clamp to tighten up on it now. So a small little issue there, not a big deal. Just took, you know, probably about five minutes to get this flange shape the way that it needs to be. Let's go get this downpipe installed. Hi guys, as you can see, we got the downpipe and clamp up there. We got it pretty snug. We are going to finish installing the rest of the pipes before we tighten that all the way down. But now that we got the flange flatten out like it needs to be, it fits perfectly. And show you the, that is the five inch downpipe right there. And let me come over here. I'm going to take the, there we go. It's kind of dark under this lift. But that's the downpipe. And so far everything is fitting up really nice. Other than that flange, we had to negotiate around and get it on the right shape. But other than that, we got a big five inch pipe. And we are going to move on to the next pipe installation here. And we got it right here. This one's a longer one. And it's just going to slide right over and clamp on. So here we go. All right, guys, we got the Yakut 2 five inch turbo back exhaust fully installed. All clamped on all the way back. And that is a lot of pipe, especially for a long bed. But you can see a clamp there. Another clamp, clamp and another clamp. And I did a little bit of spot welding myself on a few of them just to make sure they don't move. And we've got a clamp here and a couple of spot welds for the tailpipe. Removing the spare tire carrier does help give you more room to fit the axle piece in. So keep in mind, you might want to do that that does help get it in. Tailpipe right here. And we did have to cut a small section of pipe off of the turbo downpipe. We had to cut off about, I want to say about five inches. That way the mid pipe right here, it has two hangers on it. That way the hangers would line up. And in the instructions, it does say, depending on models of trucks, you may have to cut some of the pipe. But there was definitely more than enough pipe for my long bed crew cab. And there's the piece of pipe that we cut off. Again, probably about five inches or so. And that was it. Other than that, everything bolted up. So we're about to fire this thing up and see what it sounds like now with five inch turbo back exhaust. So here we go. All right, this is the Yucatu five inch turbo back exhaust, fully deleted ram truck. I'm a part fan. There you go. My 2017 Ram 2500 Cummins now has five inch turbo back exhaust. Definitely sounds a lot beefier than the four inch stock pipe. That's for sure. I didn't think it was gonna make a huge difference, but it definitely makes a big difference. So all in all, the exhaust kit fit pretty well. We did have to modify that turbo flange just a little bit because it wasn't quite flat enough. Not a big deal. We got that straightened out. And then we had to take about five inches of pipe off of the turbo downpipe off the end of it just so that everything would line up properly. And that's pretty normal for the kit. It does say you might have to trim it depending on model of vehicles. Other than that, it fits. It works. It sounds great. And for the price, you can't beat it. It's definitely a bargain for the buck. So if you're into diesel stuff, stay tuned. We're going to be installing a really cool muffler on the truck as well very soon. It's on the way. I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag yet, but let's just say there's not a lot of people that even knows about them, let alone running them. And we're going to put one on Frostbite Holler. So stay tuned. As always, stay safe out there. Don't forget, hit that subscribe button, and we'll see you guys on the next one.
