There was a recent thread on that subject.

You can build your own but cost wise you would spend just as much or more. I built mine but that was before Riffraff diesel had the kit.

Yes, it's the stock air hose. First I purchased the 6637 filter from Napa for $37.50, but that was with a fleet discount. The tube I found at a truck stop shop and I think it was $30. It is 4" OD and I had to cut about 6" off each end. Some have used PVC on here from places such as Home Depot. The constant tension clamp cost me about $5.00. Everything else you see is stock.

I looked on E-bay and found a modded exhaust pipe that was bent to fit and came with an AEM 12" filter with boots for I think 100 bucks (it's been two years...) I will try to post a picture but I am not sure if I am allowed yet lol... PM me an E-mail address and I will e-mail it to you and making one shouldn't be to difficult...

I am sending the pics for you now I need to get one to show you the solid mount for my intake my buddy has the same truck and his intake has to mount directly to his turbo via a rubber boot... My intake mounts to a cast tube that is bolted to my valve cover and then that is connected to my turbo via a factory boot...

Don't know, I went with the experts on this site and did the 6637 filter mod. I've had no regrets.
