Intercooler parts

Hello,

Been reading a lot on building an intercooler. Seems we need to find the spyder from an early 1999 truck. Problem is they are hard to find. Tried researching online about people who have built their own, from exhaust tubing and welding it up. No luck.

I really like the spyder that Banks includes in their kit for the 94's. I'm not interested in spending $1400.00 for their complete kit and they do sell a kit with everything minus the actual intercooler but they want $910.00 for it.

Is there any company that makes a spyder for installing an intercooler?
Is there anyone who has made their own by welding up a bunch of tubing?

What is everyone doing out there?

There are a couple guys that heavily modded the original ypipe I believe. I don't have any links for you though. You could send a pm to rideracelivemx7, I'm sure he did this.

I found an early 99 spyder locally.

Thanks guys, I will look into this stuff.

Only issue I see with the gtsmotorsports spyder is the air would flow into the drivers side easier and not as well into the passenger side. Might not make any difference tho.

You can buy just the spider from Banks, that's what I did on mine. You need two parts, the twin ram, and the compressor outlet. It's not cheap, but compared to the cost of an early 99 spider and new boots it's not bad. You don't have to replace your boots with the Banks spider.

What size are the openings to signify E99 in case I find one not actually on a truck?

The bottoms are noticeably smaller than the tops and there is no Air Intake Heater.

I think I have an extra if someone needs it.

The E99 spyder is 2 3/8 at the connections that go to the intake plenums. Late 99 up are 3 inch.
