Lightbulb Check out the 6" intake!!!

Pictures are a little blurry but what you think?

I'm not done with the polishing and have even thought of painting the intake white to match the truck but I couldn't wait any longer to try it out. The sound of the turbo whistle is unbelievable, without the silencer ring of course. The intake is 6" aluminum to a 5" adapter then into the stock turbo boot. Next step is the filter shroud, all aluminum.

Looks good, just make sure that aluminum tube has no chance of contacting the positive battery terminal.

yes it is an aluminum 6" elbow that I rolled down to fit a 5" piece of aluminum into it and then welded it up. Started with a 3/4" piece of plate and did some grinding on it to fit the 6" and then attached the air sensor to that. S&b 6" by 9" filter. Just over 120 for parts and a little time is all it takes.

+1 on the battery terminal contacting it though. Careful

Battery cable not as close as the picture makes it look....unless it wears a place on the cable and I hope the shroud I build helps support the intake a little better. Thanks for the opinions!!!

nice work! I built my own also and I like it alot better compared to the fitment of the tube on ones made by big companies. I run a 6" afe (stage 2 filter) and it whistles alot also
