Man, those new silicone boots are a lot stiffer and thicker than the stock ones. Kind of a pain getting the y-pipe back in, but I'm not worried about blowing a boot any time soon.

My marmon clamp is pretty much shot, so just waiting on that to button it up.

 

I mailed the clamp on wednesday, so you should see it soon.

 

Thanks again Ian.

 

Mine was built 03/08/96 and it had straight boots, look them in this pic:


Evan what new silicone boots did you buy?

 

I got these. They fit very well, seem to stick on the y-pipe and plenums really good. Thicker than stock, less flexible so getting them on is kind of a pain, but worth it IMO.

Gloss black silicone, 2" diameter, 3" long, less than $6 each

Silicone Sleeve 2" ID X 3" Long - Gloss Black: Intake Hoses, IntakeTubing, and Intake Clamps

 

OK, and yes, they look VERY STRONG and cheap. thank you.

 

The stock ones feel like a rubberband compared to these new ones. I don't think I'll be able to blow these out. My old one had a tear down one side and folded in on itself.

 

Hey Evan, did you get the clamp yet?

 

Got it yesterday Ian, just didn't get a chance to post yet. Worked out perfectly.

Truck seems to be building boost a lot better now, I bet that old boot has been cracked for a while...

 

Great! Glad to hear it worked like it should.
