Wow you suck! Thats gonna be a good lookin set-up. Im most likely gonna have to go with a superduty y-pipe. Im gonna ceramic coat the insides an outsides of the tubing and y-pipe. Give that a shot and see if it will make a difference. Im gonna have an exhaust shop bend me up all my pipe for a nice clean look.

i can bend the 3 inch pipe with our pipe bender but it doesn't do mandrel bends. so i have 2 extra ic pipes one from a 7.3 and one from a 6.0 i am going to use for my needed bends then weld it all together and paint

I thought I got some good deals on parts, dont think I can top paying $50 for a banks y pipe! I'v got parts for an intercooler sitting around my place, only difference is I dont even have a chip or injectors yet. its kinda hard to afford that stuff when offroad diesel is $2.00/gal and my dad and I can burn 150 gallons pretty easy in one day when running 2 tractors hard all day. paid $80 for 7.3 ic with pipes and metal tanks and got 6.0 pipes also, just couldnt pass that deal up.

I have though about it but I don't have an oven big enough to do it myself and I am too cheap to hire it out. Plus my duaghter like to eat so unless my wife and girls will be selling the house and sleeping in the truck I need to slow my PMS down a bit!

franklin sound like you got good deals too. if it makes you feel better my cooler and pipes cost me $180 and the pipes are aluminum so I still need to find somebody to swap me steel pipes for aluminum pipes.

The plastic end caps are fine on the 7.3 and 6.0 intercoolers. Lukecline ran a 6.0 unit and pushed well over 40 psi through it with no issues. The 6.0 trucks are making A LOT of boost before they blow the ic apart.
The stock units are not as efficient as the bigger DI and speaco units but they have a huge effect over no ic at all.
I am wanting to pick up a good used 6.0 unit because they are about 30% larger than the 7.3 units.
