Lots of newer truck have 2.5 and 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust. I have been raiding the trash pile at our local muffler shop, and have gotten quite a bit of mandrel bent pipe for free. Around here every good redneck pays the muffler shop to yank the 3 inch mandrel bent tubing, and replace it with 2.5 crush bent duals with a flowmaster. Alot of it is even a low grade stainless (I think 409). The shop around doesn't care, I just ask and they roll their eyes and point to the scrap pile. If you don't mind dumpster diving, this yields free mandrel bent IC pipes.

 

I bought mine directly from Griffin. It took less than 2 weeks from the time that I ordered it to the time it was at my door. Part number cs-000ae-03 (4.212x30.00x13.232). I don't think that you'll be able to get that intercooler that quickly. Griffin has been having some trouble getting their products out in a timely manner.

I was thinking of using some louvers or grills from some of the newer cars or trucks, but they would not be as flexible (as I mean to form the mesh the way I wanted in order to follow the flow of the bumper) as the mesh that I got from Summit racing. I used some 3M body shop adhesive to mount the mesh and it hold wonderfully and the mesh really made the bumper quite solid.

thanks.....you have a ram air hood as well do you think it would fit under the reg T/A hood ?

thanks

It will not fit with the stock hood. I wanted it to, but it wasn't even close. I had the flange on Wilson elbow machined down half of it's original thickness. I used a Glasstek fiberglass ram air hood. I know one the owners and he put another piece of figerglass matting in my hood as I told him that the back of the hood would have to be "notched" in order to clear the intake set up... just to make it stronger.

 

Thanks guys.
