I've seen them. Never bought them. But they look to be good quality. You should just buy them then give us a review after 6 months or so.

I bought a set a little while ago, finally putting them on this week. Will let you know how they work out. Seem to be good quality. I'm guessing they are the subcontractor for MKM/Sinister Diesel.

The price is certainly fair....and I do need to replace the plastic tube on the cold air side along with the turbo to tube hot air side and it's the only ones I've seem with the wire rings on the CAC side the only drawback I have is sometime ago I read of a few of the aftermarket boots separating? on the inside and going through the CAC system. That is why I'm asking. However it IS a great deal all things considered. Tubes, Boots AND Clamps.

....for that amount of money I wouldn't mind being the guinea pig....as long as they boots didn't end up in the CAC

Ahhhh, So you have a set in hand, and the boots look good IYO? That's good to know, I see that 130 other people bought them also maybe some others are on here and will chime in later. Thanks for the info.

They seem to be decent. Not quite as nice as the new updated CAC boots from Ford...and until they're installed it's a guess. Will try to get detailed pics of the boots tomorrow.

I can tell you the pipes look exactly the same as the Sinister intake elbow I have construction/color-wise.

Thanks, I'm not sure one can tell if they are the type that came apart on the inside by looking at them though...but we ALL like pics

Yeah, pics won't tell you anything unless there's an obvious construction flaw or defect...but pics of purty pipes are always enjoyable

Alpha Dog Tuning does make quality parts for sure. I have had their EGR delete on my truck for almost 4 years now with no problems. I inspected everything prior to install and it all looked top quality, I don't see why the CAC setup would be any different.

So, after putting them on the truck the blue color is definitely not as nice as the Sinister Diesel blue on the intake elbow. But...I don't really care
