Exhaust pipe replacement - 2006 Inspire

Yahoo Message Number: 98416
My exhaust pipe is badly rusted, with holes. I'm quite sure it is 5" pipe, but the OD measures 4¾"?. It looks like a DIY project, but before I start buying parts, I sure would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. I have a 2006 CC Inspire with a Cat C-9 diesel.

Ken, I have two ideas for your needed parts, here's the website for Junction City Muffler that worked with CC and is familiar with the coaches. Junction City Muffler

Secondly if any of the exhaust piping requires special bends I recommend the Chrome Depot in Ohio ph: 800-496-6303, ask for Bill, these folks did my exhaust pipe fabrication that included reducers and a 90 degree bend, Bill tells you exactly how to make the measurements and when I rec'd it fit perfect. He's knows his stuff. Was very competitive and fair in pricing.

My C 12 cat had a 5 inch pipe. I did mine by myself. Using the old pipe I made a fixture from wood. Cut the pieces then welded it up. Country coach would have supplied one for around 600 dollars with a 6 to 8 week lead time. If I remember right I spent about 300 using chrome pipe. It took me about a day to do it.

There are not a lot of sources for mandrel bent 5" tubing. JC Muffler bought up a lot of the muffler pipe stock in the CC bankruptcy.

Check with PPL -- When ever I needed a part or whatever they have been most competitive and great product.

I replaced my exhaust system with 409 stainless steel. I machined the turbo flange from billet stainless. I purchased mandrel bent elbows online from Smeding Diesel and cut and welded them to match the originals. I wanted a stainless muffler to match but was unable to find one. My muffler internals were in good shape, so I replaced the inlet and outlet with stainless. Then I encased the muffler in sheet stainless. The cost was around $500 for the materials.

Pretty much any truck shop or parts house will have it.
