I don't plan on doing head studs with my install. I also don't plan on going over 12lbs of boost, so I should be OK. I paid $400 for my 2nd gen Banks kit that is complete, including the sticker, except for the exhaust after the down pipe. I might just go from the DP into a straight 4" exiting after the cab.
i ran 3 inch to the bed when i had the stacks. i had the 3-4 inch adapters at the stacks.
if you are going to do a bottom dump, put the 3-4 adapter about a foot or so in, it will work and sound just as good, but cost a lot less with the 3 inch pipe.

use 3 inch instead. the downpipe is 3 inch anyway, and it will fit easier. do not go to 4 inch till you get where you are going with it.

Yeah, I was thinking about possible problems going to 4" right away so I might have to use 3" until the pipe comes all the way down and parallel with the frame, then go to the larger pipe. I plan on a 90 elbow exiting the side of the truck just like it is now but 4" instead of 2.5". I'm hoping it sounds good with the bigger pipe and gets better flow. I'm not opposed to 3.5" either.

i am running a "slightly modified" intake
i took the big old airbox and cut away everything that was not needed.
then piped the cold side to the front of the truck, and made my own cold air intake.
only i never finished it.
it runs fine the way it is, and has been like this for around 250,000 miles

i currently have a cone style filter on the intake tube at the radiator support.
since this truck is now only used for snowplowing i don't really need to worry about dusting the engine anymore.

thats what i was wondereing, i try to stay away from the k&n and those style filters for a farm truck, id rather use a good hd paper filter.
Well its 1:52 am, shes all back together and runnin. took it for a test drive, damn that bade a hellva diffrence. all ive got left is to put the finishing touches on the intake and exhaust, and finish my guages. all in all it went pretty smooth, it is about enough to make you loose your religion getting the oil drain tube bolts in, im suprised i didnt have a heard of nuns show up..lol
