Kenworth or CAT part?

If you give me the last six of the VIN I can tell you for sure.

 

Yes that sounds about right. I've got one exactly like yours and had to replace it also. Kenworth thinks a lot of us one truck guys that they like to get rich off of us on the proprietary stuff. It's why I never bother with them on things anymore I can get elsewhere even when they're competitive. They're a bunch of self important ##### from what I've seen anyways. People at truckpro, fleetpride, napa, etc are generally more helpful and try to get your business. Had one of these 3 (won't say which publicly) set up an account for me and entered in that I was a $30,000 a year customer to help me get the best prices. If I spent $3,000 in a year that would have been a bad year. Kenworth builds a nice truck but their parts and service depts at the franchises are #### near criminal the prices they charge for proprietary. One more comment. The days of proprietary exhaust parts should be over. About a year ago a guy from truckpro told me specialty KW exhaust elbows (and Pete, Intl, freightliner, etc) would soon be available. I notice they all carry VNL headlight housings as aftermarket for half what Volvo charges proprietary.....

 

Walker exhaust make a lot of replacement parts for 5" exhaust systems, manufacturer and engine specific.

 

Like was posted you can buy just the flange, Pac makes the best one and if you want a pyro port you can buy that and you weld it on and then drill the hole, I remove from the turbo when I drill the hole.
