You do have donuts on the top flanges of the up-pipes. You can either get new donuts or go with bellowed up-pips. Bellowed is the way to go, and will be the last time you mess with the up-pipes. If you are intrested in the bellowed pipes, give Clay a call. here is his link. The site is not up and running yet, but his phone # and e-mail is on the site. He can get you the best deal on these. click here

While you are at it, ask Clay about the 11 piece kit for the turbo - you will need it and he sells the viton o-rings in the kit which should give you better service.
I ordered both on Monday and am just waiting to see how much Customs wants to slow down the delivery.

I can't recall exactly what was listed on the invoice, but it is roughly this:
Complete 11 piece kit for re-installing your 99.5-03 stock GTP38 Turbo. The kit comes complete- 2 zinc coated 10.9 Flange Bolts, 7 Viton O-rings, 2 EBPV solenoid plunger o-rings, turbo outlet o-ring, EBPV backplate o-ring, genuine Garrett EBPV rod clip.

I got that same kit from Clay. Guzzle also offers it on his website.

Get the bellows up-pipes, they go on EZr than the stock pipes and should last longer. I changed mine lout ast week and could not believe the difference it made. The truck is quieter, the turbo spools faster, and the EGT's are lower. Well wouth the $$$
