Oh ya, because going back to a factory filter that doesn't flow or filter as much and draws air from the same place is a good idea.:rolleyes:Quote:

If you had half a brain cell you could figure out which is better
Actually after swimming the truck there was not a trace of mud/dirt past the filter, I'm impressed. The filter is trash now though.
Has anybody seen or have examples of decent homemade air box's? I have no idea what's the best way to pipe between the turbo and filter.
Exhaust tubing and a 6637 filter from napa work great on my truck. If you wanted to get fancy i guess you could fab a box with some thin aluminum and some pop rivets.
But you're not making any bends with the exhaust tubing, correct? As for the box itself it will probably be some thin aluminum, but it's the turbo to filter routing I'm unsure of? If only the cummins had the battery and filter setup of the 7.3 it would truly be the perfect engine...
No bends but any exhaust shop should be able to make whatever bends you need. It's 4" tubing.
Or if you want to get extra fancy, figure out what you need and order mandrel bent stainless from summit.
silicone tubing if you want to be extra fancy

No exhaust shop will be able to bend 4" tube and even if they could they'd dent the **** out of it.Quote:

Why not? Almost every diesel runs 3.5" factory exhaust and a ton of people run 4 and 5 inch full exhausts. I know for a fact one of the shops in Paris does it all the timeQuote:

If you search around there are several different sites selling the silicone intake parts but since you are not planning on using them under any pressure you don't have to get anal about layers and all of that.
