Hey Jeff, It's me again. This is the site I call home. I frequent the other site too, just to get different views. I find that the guys on this site are alot more friendly. I'm not saying on the other site they aren't, but man they go at it over there. Anyway, over here, the site is alot easier IMHO to use if you are a supporter. It was the best $14 I spent in a long time. These guys taught me alot of what I know about my truck. Not to mention, you actually get an email when someone has posted to a thread that you have posted, or posted to. I find that annoying that you don't from the other site. Anyway, welcome to FTE.

Well got the IC pipes fab'd up and installed. Turned out to be easy. I say that because I found a parts store that sells mandrel bent exhaust tubes.
Here's a pic:

The passengers side took 3 90 degree pipe and the drivers took 2 90s and 1 45 degree pipes.
Initial drive'n around the corner was fun. Lost about 3psi boost. Cool down after some hot rod'n was faster. When I did a run from 0 to 75, it looked like she ran about 150 degrees cooler.
The real test with a full load. I will let y'all know.
If I had to do it over again, I would because I am a hopeless gearhead that can not leave anything alone. Y'all know what I mean.

Initial drive'n around the corner was fun. Lost about 3psi boost because of the volume of air in the IC being compressed. Cool down after some hot rod'n was faster. When I did a run from 0 to 75, it looked like she ran about 150 degrees cooler.
