SD Intakes

Would the intakes off a SD be worth doing? Cause I read in a post, that they are bigger. So if there bigger they must be better.. and you always want the best you can get. I was wondering, cause I may have to call the local yard and see if they got any and if I can have them for damn near free.

you mean the air induction tube or the intake plenums? if so, yes the late 99+ had 3" intake plenums but you would have to swap over to a bigger spider/y pipe and boots to hold the new hardware. but if your talking about air intake, then doesnt matter if its 3" or 17" the same amount of air is going to go in to that little turbo housing as it can fit. just get a 6637 and be done with it.

the larger turbo spyder wont work on our trucks due to the turbo compressor outlets being different sizes.

If you have both a late model and early model spider pipes you can modify both of them and make one. Would take some work but worth it. IMO.
