You'll have to stop by sometime. Maybe next pstof?

Did you add up all the reciepts from this project yet?

 

is that a baffle for a stove pipe?

 

Garrett looks embarassed to be riding in such a dirty rig. Poor kid! Good work on getting it done, a week and a half to spare, even!

 

logan.. i have the remnants of my 3/16's sheet metal if you want it. Better hurry before i start on a rear bumper.

 

good job BBP.

 

Vitaly, you bring snow run this weekend, da?


Jason, it's NOT that dirty... The next pstof is a ways off, no?


Vitaly, yup it sure is... Hey I had to have something. I got something in the works

 

So, it's mostly done!!!!! The only thing left is to cut the windshield wiper louver to accommodate the snorkel. Also, I have a couple other small projects that will clean up wiring and hide the AFM extension wiring.

With the filter box FINALLY connected and resting in its spot, I used another 3" nohub rubber coupling to connect another 90 degree pvc RV drainage fitting. This was WAY better than trying to get the flex ducting to bend around that corner.


YES, thats a stove pipe topper, but I bought that as a back up in case I couldn't get to making my own. For now it works great. I'm working with a company outta Bakersfield, CA that specifically SELLS intake hoods(bonnets, covers...etc-http://www.dnaparts.com/bonnets.htm).
<-------probably gonna get that one


With everything fully mounted, it's ready for the fender. It was a pretty tight fit at the pipe connection but workable. There's NO contact at the foward end of the fender. I made this setup fairly flexible but rigid enough that it doesn't RATTLE around. OR I catch a tree limb... I used two small "L" brackets to hold the snorkel stack in place. I painted everything with my favorite brand Duplicolor high temp ceramic rattle can.


I will put the wiper louver back on but that is the ONLY precise cut that I have to do and I'm taking my time. I also picked up a vent pipe boot similar to below and pulled the rubber out and slid it down over the pipe to help prevent water/rain into where...well...water and rain already gets! LOL! I may buy another one to have one on top of the louver and the one where it is now on the sub frame.



I've been driving the truck the last two days and I think I've piped in ATLEAST 20hp** Seriously though, I've noticed better throttle response(more likely due to the intake swap) and hopefully and improvement in MPG's. My exhaust tone seems to have gone a little deeper and less ricey. My compliments to DOWNEY OFFROAD(RIP)!!!! Also, the plexiglass box top is holding up and doesn't seem to want to implode. I CAN get it to bow in if I hold my hand over the 90 degree inlet at the fender. Atleast the top doesn't leak!! I'll post the louver cut when it's done.

Hope ya'll enjoyed the commentary and the project!

















**translated as HAMPSTER Power...

 

wow you finished i've been checking this thread almost every day since like october or november lol

 

Yeah no doubt. Took awhile Looks good, I just want to know how much money you saved over buying a pre-fab.

 

$15.35






Actually, that $30+ dollar piece of mandrel bent 3" exhaust tubing was BY FAR the most expensive piece.

 

smartass. Can't wait to check that bad boy out.

 

lol, hey you asked!!


I can't believe no one laughed at the hampsterpower joke...

 

I saw it. I laughed. I forgot to give it a or a

 

well the best part of that snorkel is that you're drawing in colder denser air. But lets see if it will hold up against my winch on saterday.

 

You want to winch off my snorkel?

 

That kinda sounds dirty...

 

And not in that fun kinda dirty either.

 

Eeewaaa

 

whaaaaat?

 

I got it.
Maybe me an LUMPY are just in the gutter.
