I tried calling you earlier! I have a question that I'm not certain of.

more progress. I was able to do this with just mocking up where the charge pipe will go to ensure no interference happened. Mainly just spent my day/night cleaning up my shop and getting ready for the trip/funeral. Hopefully I can finish most of the charge pipes tomorrow.

Are you fabbing the intercooler tubes yourself? Have pieces/parts you've gathered up to make work?
Where are you getting the connecting fittings for the intake? All 4" I assume.
I know I can get rubber fittings from someplace like cummings, International ect but have not found a less expensive source online. The dealers are way out of line in the price for 4" rubber fittings.

I noticed on PSN you had a different picture that showed the DP and it looked well to put it blunt, like a hack job, which seemed very out of character. I was wondering is its just a mock up or if its the final product. because from the picture it looks like it has an abrupt angle and bad flow. I'm kind of guessing its just the angle of the picture or just a mock up for now because the rest of your build looks awesome but care to enlighten

no it just looked weird in the picture on PSN kind of like it went back with the mandrel bend then abruptly angled down with just a wielded angle. i'm guessing its just the angle of the picture making it look off. And yeah a 3.5 flows better then the stock obviously but from the picture it looked like it wasn't getting the best flow it could. You guys have seen it in person i'm just going off what i get from the picture and was wondering
