If you haven't done so, take a close look at the link in the second post in this thread it's one of the best I've ever seen on installing an intercooler.
Here it is again just click on and read, there are also very good pictures.

The pipes were designed for the I/C to be mounted higher, similar to the Hypermax install. This probably won't be an issue if you're going to fab up your own pipes...

Does anyone know the dimensions of these pipes on the banks kit? I'm curious as to what the larger and smaller pipe diameters are. If I ever get around to making intercooler pipes, I would want to go with this type of setup vs modifying the stock spider

I'm leaning towards a used 6.0 intercooler, they seem easy enough to come by, but I can't find the magical pipe kit. I don't mind fabbing them up if I have to, but I'd rather spend my time enjoying the truck than driving down to the in-laws-to-be to borrow garage time and welding stuff.

I know the thread is 2 months old, but I don't suppose you'd mind posting up a link to this person? I've been searching high and low, and I keep finding the same thing "contact so and so, he makes them." And then a bunch of people say just build your own set of pipes and no one provides contact information.

Now he was trying to sell them through Paul (screen name BigStroker) who owns and runs Complete Performance in Texas Complete Performance - PowerStrokeNation : Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum . He is a sponsor on PSN and PSA, and probably many other sites. So i would just pm one of the and see whats going on with it.

I haven't purchased anything yet. I was trying to decide how much work would be involved with the project (compared to cost).
But I figure bigger is always better, and I've seen 6.0 intercoolers going for $200. I figure another $350 to 400 for piping (with spider). I'd be about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the Banks setup. Which I figure leaves some monies for gages and maybe...maybe tunes
Sorry for the thread hijack. I'll be contacting those people tomorrow. It's my day off. Thanks for the quick responses.
