How bout' climbing glass skyscrapers?

 

yes i really wanna do this.. but what to you think is better? use a Y pipe and then one big 3" stainles tube with a big filter? or duals like we have on now. but in stainless?

 

Wile E. Coyote Auto Body and Tire Shop .......

 

but the noise Quick mmmoopppp mmmoooppp mmooopp mmooopppp mmmooooppp lol I love it though

 

I'll take some pics...shoulda done it when I built andassembled it all but I had a migraine...funny how workin on trucks makes you not care....Fernco bands ARE rubber and that's why I used them....if not my airbow should have enough flex...took care of my stock hose that was all tore up at the ends and leaked.......since FTE or my incompetence won't let me post pics on the thread....I'll put em in my gallery with the truck itself...maroon stepside.......should be on tonite so have at it....

 

DJ, I was just going to use duals like it has now and polished stainless because I have easy access to the stainless. I am a on call diesel tech for a couple of trucking outfits here and a welder 10 to 12 hours a night. We build commercial bakery equipment, most of it very very large. I have my eye on a sheet of stainless diamond plate I want to make a front bumper out of. I just need time to do it, we have 5 welders at night but I am the floating welder and work everywhere, the other guys never leave the weld shop and seldom work OT and I have to be there if anyone is working anywhere in the plant. Polished because the guys that do that owe me for all the car and dirt bike repairs and custom parts!!! I was going to use the rubber connectors for a 60 series intercooler, should be the right size and come in a nice shade of blue to boot.

 

Pics of the new intake or

 

ok tenasseeduck.. can you send me the pics and plans for it after your done.. i will build one to soon.. thank you.

 

You'll need to wrap or coat the pipes to protect from the heat. Especially with your setup where it runs a good 3 feet over the engine compartment and nothing really to keep it cool. The pvc will let off toxics which will mess with your sensors if its heated up.

I am going to belive your faster throttle response and different exahust sounds is all in your head. In reality you havent changed much. these stock intakes dont have the ram air feature, its more just sucking. Yes it may be ram up to the air filter. So that means the reason why a faster throttle response or different exhaust sound would occur because your getting colder air into the engine, which is doubtful. IMO I like to say I have a better throttle response and a little more HP even with my Cowl Induction intake, but its nothing to show really.

the stock intakes are really efficent enough for the stock engines. Some say wrapping the intake duct with aluminum tape is a better cold air intake then a K&N kit.

I like to see people trying new things, but if one is doing it for performance gains, its not really going to happen

 

PVC puts off fewer toxins than you think with the amount of heat made in the engine compartment.......I've drizzled purple primer onto it and lit it on fire to peel a fitting off without wasting anything except the glue and primer....so heat is not that high of a figure....Yes, I'll probly get some aluminum tape from the Mechanical guys so I can wrap it but that'll be later than sooner.....it takes a good amount of heat to melt or even warm pvc to where the polymers begin to seperate....and when you've got cold air running into the pipe...even if it did theoretically concieve more heat than I believe...It wouldn't be enough to screw with anything....besides...what sensors would that affect?you can't say MAF because the PVC is after the fact...can't really say TPS either because well......it's a TPS.3 feet of PVC?since when..the piece I've got in there is MAYBE 14 inches.....which would translate to 1' 2".Well.....if it's all in my head...does that mean the tone of long tube headers wouldn't change my exhaust sound?It's all about volumetric capacity...Look at it this way.....three inch PVC is bigger,rounder, and smoother on the inside...look in the end of your tube and I'll bet you find you've got rides...not even spirals...but then, that's to allow for the engine flex....the more air you've got going into the intake...the more air you've got filling the cylinders with fuel...the more air you've got feeding your motor...so why wouldn't it increase the throttle response or the sound from my tailpipe?So, if I were to try something new like say...I don't know...a rebuild or hell even a 331 kit with flat top pistons a little bit milder cam.....it wouldn't change a damn thing?Geesh....guess Mr M wasted the money on his truck...Skandocious too.....I'm all for trying new things too....You think what you want...but I know what I've got.....didn't mean to go all ape on ya but...this is all IMO as well......

The pics are up on my gallery in case anyone missed that part.......

Later On

 

that setup looks like 10 - 15 hp to me.

 

You better get them pics up or we are all going to call BS on this whole thing. That, and go to a dyno with the old set up and post the graphs from stock plumbing and your new plumbing so we can see the differences...that is IF you really did this...and we need the pics up to know if you really did.

 

What are you guys missing? The pics are in his gallery, he's already said that at least twice.

 

There, thats the pic.

 

The pic has gotta come from Flareside himself or I don't believe it.
