Clay- do the set of IC boots come with the plenum boots too? If I click the early 99 will I get the plenum boots that reduce to the right size?

Looks to me like they do, just go down the list checking what you need. So if you are getting polished piping you aren't going to paint them are you? Maybe a translucent paint would look cool.

Are ther issues with painting polished alluminum? Not much of a painter. I just get the old rattle and go to town. Lol. I was wanting to do a dark red high temp paint or something.

May have to scuff it up and use a etching primer first. Check this out https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-my-7-3-a.html

How is a good way to plug the 2 hose fittings on the y pipe? Can they be removed or should I cut them off flush and fill them with something.
Oh BTW Bahamas is amazing!!!! Just got back yesterday!!!!

Those fittings, just put some pliers on them and rip them out?? I think that is what I will do. Pull the fittings and have my welder buddy fill the holes.

Couldn't help but mention the Bahamas. Lol. Now it's back to the grind and working on the rig
