    well i hope this helps my brother drives a w900L and he never liked the way kw ran their exhaust right under the cab and into that u shapped mufller so he got the the vin to my 379 went to pete and got the elbow after the turbo and the 90 degree down pipe he spent about $300 on that you could probably get it cheaper aftermarket. He then went to a local truck parts and bought an after market 24" mufffler a couple of pieces of flex and a new y wipe all in all it came out pretty good he said the cab got alot qiueter after that and it looks alot better.

    I found this on donaldson's website maybe it can help. https://dynamic.donaldson.com/webc/WebStore/hierarchy/hierarchy.html?section=10306 I don't know what parts these are though as they dont have any pics. It doesnt give prices either and not sure if you can get these in chrome if you're needing chromed exhaust pieces. You have to type in where you live and it will tell you the nearest truckpro etc in your area that can get these parts from donaldson for you. I feel everyone's pain on the wierd exhaust elbows ect from KW that seem like dealer only items. The dual exhaust on my T600 comes up behind the sleeper inside the frame rails. I had to replace both of those elbows. They go down from the bottom of the stacks to underneath the truck and do a 90* turn to the mufflers. They were $360 apiece from KW chromed, ouch!, I had to do it though the old ones were rusted busted and leaking, I had to have chrome too..

    Well, for the present time, we are just going to make it into a weed burner until we get enough time with the truck in the shop to build a custom exhaust from the turbo back.

    Phatom, I think yall have the right idea by building a pete exhaust and putting it on a KW, so we are going to go that route when we get time.
