The thing about the silencer ring is, is that its so simple, it's easy to loose your patience. I wrestled with it for about 10 minutes one time and gave up because I didn't want to jab my impeller or anything. Then, a week later, I tried and ip poped out in about 30 seconds. You just have to be CAREFUL. I bet that one makes a one-of-a-kind whine dosn't it?

$10+ s/h and you get this... very simple to do, no chisseling away at the stock baffle tube so it can be easily put back in...

[QUOTE=VikingDiesel]When I did look into, I saw (2) white looking pastic pieces closest to the turbo. Not sure what they were.
ok i am allso new to this stuff two. so when i did my baffle tube today. i allso saw those two white looking plastic pieces closest to the turbo. my old truck was a 305-555 six speed and it did not have those white pieces . but my new truck a 2004.5 325-600 48RE cummins had them. so i took them out.so guys was that a bad move on my part.i mean would i have been better to leave them there.but i guess it is to late now.

by doing this and a swiss cheese airbox, you won't get the same amount of flow that you will with an aftermarket airbox, you still have the restriction of the stock filter.
Mopar72,
I want to say somewhere around 8.5" Just order Quantity = 1 (12") so that will be plenty, thats all I ordered. then cut it with band saw or chop saw to get it to fit

2nd link
Also, what is the Best overall intake? Loudest sound, lowest egt's, best performance gain? This is all the stuff that came up on EBAY
