alright guys i have a L99 6 speed with an f5 5 inch straight pipe 6637 boost fuller guages and have my wastegate blocked and wired shut. My tuck has 250k and the uppies are leaking so bad i am building 18psi with my egts sky rocketing and fuel mileage is about 11-12. Now my question is that when i first got my chip i could build 22psi and then 20 and now bearly 18 on 120 or 140 is there anythig else that could be helping me loose boost.my up pipes are vovered in soot so is my firewall. Ik they are shot but is that why my turbo wooshs as it builds boost? I also built a leak detector and they are leaking so bad that when i hooked it up i lost 80 lbs like that not a budge on the guage. Help me understand why please?
You're never going to get your EGT's or boost where it should be with leaky uppies. This causes the motor to run less efficiently, therefor killing mileage. Fix the up pipes.
I know the quality is top notch, but with your skills Brad, building your own should be real easy.
I just dont have the time and i only have the turbo off and not the trans down or I would consider it.

I dont care what they look like(You can't see them in the truck) I just want something that is a good quality since they are a PITA to get to and change.
Do either of you have 1st hand experience with them?
No firsthand experience but I read some about the dorman pipes in the SD section. A few guys up there have them and like them, but say they aren't quite as heavy duty as the internationals.
