Installed riffraff turbo/intercooler boot kit and plenum inserts

Did them last friday night. Definitely much thicker then the originals, and longer also. For me it was a PITA to get the spider to plenum back together but finally got it. The plenum inserts are very nice. I actually had to tap out the passenger side of plenum to get it back to somewhat round in order to get the insert to start. Need to open up the clamps as much as possible when assembling but everything tightened up nice. Very good products Clay.

Yes, you will need to measure, they are either 3" or 3.25" on the inlet and outlet. Here is a link that will help you choose.

It was late friday night when I did it so I wasn't thinking picts, but I can pop the hood and take a couple. They are as pretty as when I first took them out of the box due to greasy hands but I did try to keep the name pointed so they could be read.

I do have a pict of the stock cold side boot going into the spider that I had to wrap in duct tape and then put 2 clamps around as a temporary fix untill I put Clay's boots on.

here is a picture, hopefully, of the bandaid I did to the cold side of the spider boot before I put on Clay's. Duct tape and pipe clamps, not pretty but worked.

Great pics! Just know that some on here will harass you about how dirty your engine bay is. Mine has been known to be worse than yours so don't feel bad.
