Budget Turbo Yukon: I Got the CHEAPEST Crossover Manifold on the Internet! Uncle Rob Gets a Hot Side

What happens here

The creator begins the fabrication of the crossover pipe under the elevated GMC Yukon. He notes the truck's rusted undercarriage from being a daily driver in northern states. He then shows the stock exhaust Y-pipe flange, which he will cut off and reuse. He emphasizes the importance of 'doing it the right way' by cutting and redoing parts if the fitment isn't perfect, rather than cutting corners.

Goal: Begin fabricating the crossover pipe by cutting and preparing the stock flange.

Tools and materials

  • Angle Grinder — Cutting the stock exhaust Y-pipe flange
  • Flashlight — Illuminating the work area under the vehicle
  • GMC Yukon GMC — The vehicle receiving the turbo kit
  • Jack Stands — Safely elevating the vehicle for undercarriage access
  • Safety Glasses Pit Viper — Protecting eyes from debris during cutting and grinding

driver i'm gonna get working on the crossover now now that we got the manifold in there with the turbo mocked up not the herbo even has to be there i just makes me feel better to look at it like this so let's get to it i got it jacked up we'll go under here and see what we're dealing with yeah this thing has been a daily driver in pennsylvania and maryland its entire life so it is not pretty under here don't expect it to be this is real world stuff oh boy you it's brown 4l60u that is the factory manifold and we're gonna take that cut the flange off the old y pipe and run it over to here i'm gonna see if our v-band fits up on this it does i don't have another extension cord so they just reach across the floor all the way over here which is pretty freaking cool we're gonna run that crossover piece kind of the way it was for the first part of it put it up there it was way too close to drive shaft and it was that kind of a funny angle just didn't like it so i cut this off made it flush we're going to start from there and i'm going to file this out after i get it mocked up because the file and everything is way over there it was one of those things where i just had to to catch myself and like no dude you're not cutting this corner you're not gonna like it when it's done cut it start over do it the right way that's how you need to do it and i listen to that voice i think we all have that voice in us when we're working on stuff and a lot of times we don't listen to it because we want to get it done the easiest way possible human beings are inherently lazy like that it's what we do to make a conscious effort to listen to that voice when you feel like there's a shade if something needs to be redone or should be checked redo it or check it that's how you build nice stuff i never turned down that voice when i was building the escalade if it was not absolutely perfect there was any question about anything at all i redid it until i knew it was the best i could do and that's what i'm getting back to even if i may be working on a rusty 200 000 mile yukon what i do is still going to be nice work plain and simple
