I think I can afford $40 just about - I had two unexpected expenses that wiped me out for a while, but that should not be too much.
The truck I write about is the 1996 F450 because that is MY truck.
The other one is just the thing that has been towed a few times and goes through CMP sensors like I go through socks. I never really write anything about that one. ( I do not like to moan about things too much, and that truck is just asking for it. I think that if I don't write about it, it will go away.)
And what name do you like?

I got my hands on some 4'' pipe , including a 45 bend from the chassis guy that built my racecar , and got my Napa filter yesterday , going to tackle this project this weekend. The only thing I am missing is a piece to go from the turbo itself to the rest of the new piping I am going to install....
I am looking for that flex-able tube - usually red - that is inforced with a thin piece of metal. I want to get rid of all the factory air ducting , and replace it with as much metal piping as possibile , but i am going to need something to go onto the turbo itself...
Any ideas ????

I found it at a local shop in SLC called Evco House of Hose. Good stuff for about $3.00/ft. It is quite thick, oil, gasoline & sunlight resistant. Not sure what it was called, I'll look at it when I get home.
You're gonna love it. Are you keeping any of the stock assy?

Stock Assy ???
Not sure what you mean by that. The truck has a AFE filter setup at the momment, which will be removed. I have the filter , and plan to run as much metal piping as possibile, but I am going to need a good piece of 4'' flexiable hose to go from the turbo to the metal piping. I have a PCV Breather mod on my truck allready , so the factory breather adapter is gone.....
Thinking about where I could get some of this hose stuff in my area.. ?????

Assy = assembly 
Gotcha....
I am keeping all the stock pieces so i can return to stock if the need may arise someday.
I just got back from a hour trip to the local Big Rig parts stores and no-one has this flexable piece I am in need of. I think I am going to end up calling Dale at Tymar Performance and order up this piece , as I think it comes with his kit , along with the bracket to hold the actuall filter.......

I have decided to use the factory rubber piece that goes from the turbo itself , to the breather adapter. Then from their I am going to use the 4'' metal piping to the Napa filter. I am going to try and knock this out tomorrow due to the nice chicago weather , and I will post pics as soon as I am done.....

Well , I somewhat completed this project yesterday. I removed the factory airbox, luckily mine was a two piece unit so I could keep the factory battery tray , and stuck the napa filter onto the factory rubber piping. The filter needs to be re-mounted because the way it is now - the hood is a bit hard to close. I am going to tackle the metal piping sometime this week.
I decided to ditch the AFE with all the reports of how allot of dust/crap gets thru the filter. Plus , I kind of bought the AFE without doing any research , and have always been bothered with it's design.
So far , the Napa filter thing is working well......
