another 6.0 intercooler ?

i just got my 6.0 intercooler and i have been looking at different install methods. i would like to install new tubes since i am going to have the whole thing appart. the only company i have found that sells toubs and boots is dieselpowerproducts.com. at $219 + cost of two other boots it sounds a little steep. do any of you guys know of some other companys that sell the tubes and boots? any input will help. thanks.

I think some of the aftermarkets try to reduce some of the angles to improve flow but all i have seen are around that 220 mark.

Performance gains with aftermarket tubes are very minimal, and it probably makes no difference in 98% of the Powerstrokes out there. The aftermarket tubes are the same size, and bends are about the same. The only really noticeable difference visually is the aftermarket ones don't have the small indentation on the driver's side tube.
