I used a piece of 4" exhaust pipe with a 45 deg bend in it. I believe it was 12" long on each end. I just cut the one end to fit. See my photo gallery. It came from NAPA. The only thing is the filter sits crooked. But I don't mind.

 

i used the last section of the 4" MBRP exhaust that I removed when I changed to the 5". It was free, and laying in the garage. works so far.

 

How many people are interested in getting a tube made?

I might order some 4" ID 1/8" walled 6061 aluminum and bending one up for myself and a few other buddies.

Whats everyones take on keeping the reducer vs. a full aluminum tube, reducer and all?

IIRC the reducer doesnt have the accordian inside so it might not be worth welding on an aluminum reducer then getting a flexible boot...

 

You mean kinda like this,Here's mine,

 

I love the way that looks! Mind telling me how you bent it? I have access to a good mig and grinders and I'm not to shabby at either one... I'd love to see if I can get a bit more whistle outta my truck if I used a metal intake pipe.

 

how did you go from 4" to 3" at the turbo?

 

clay ships the early 99 kit with a late model final boot (99.5-03) i was the first and it fit good off the ccv eliminator pipe. he said it was cheaper than doing the 45 degree pipe w powdercoat. but im sure he can get made whatever you could want.that reminds me i need to tell him it fit ok.

 

I would be interested in one as well..

 

I really like the looks of this too. But one question comes to mind. When the accordion is replaced with a solid tube, what's left to allow the motor to rock and the filter to stay put?

 

I'm thinking that's a bigger turbo. But just a guess. I think the bigger turbos have a 4" intake already and thats why they come with a different boot to go from the intake to the turbo.

 

Delux06 made that from different degree 4" pipe (exhaust pieces). He has a post on this forum somewhere showing how he did the pipe.

 

can't tell if it is stock turbo or not, but could use a reducer. like these Intake Pipe Reducer

 

I'd love to see it...

 

thanks sideshow

with a full tube from turbo to filter, wouldnt this setup be better than most aftermarket kits, -the cold air bowhich could easily be made with cnc plasma table) It looks like most aftermarket intakes only have tubes to the factory reducer.

 

Hey man just wondering if you can make me the pipe like yours? If so how much would you charge me?
