6637 installed

Well, I got my 6637 yesterday when I got home from school. So I pulled the truck into the shed and put it in. Took me about an hour, but I was very meticulous with wiping down each part. Drove the truck some that night and today. The intake definetly made a difference seems to accelerate quicker and you can hear the turbo more. Great kit Clay! Hopefully will take a few pictures and put them on (if I can figure out how).

Helpful hint - if installing 6637, make sure you take note of which end of the air intake hose attaches to the intake and which one heads toward the turbo. Not sure if it matters with everyone's truck, but sure helped when I swapped ends and quit trying to clamp the smaller end towards the turbo.

My next mod is going to be an aluminized 4" exhaust coated with duplicolor. Yeah it certainly worked better when I turned that tube around.
