Does anyone notice any difference at all with them installed? I have contemplated them ever since I first saw them. They look awesome but do they have any noticeable power or fuel mileage gains? Thanks

I don't know about power or mileage gains but most guys who run them say they lower EGTs by 50-75 F at WOT.

Next on the list for me is a PS cooler with 3" tubes.

he dosent get enough credit, the exhaust temp will go down, the air flow will go up, the volume gain will allow more fuel, most importantly, any smoke passing the exhaust, will be gone, spool up is quick and noticeable, need more sell?

I am running a set of Tims Cooler Tubez. They are everything he has advertized and then some. The only thing I've noticed that coupled with my Banks IC my boost numbers are down. I feel that this is due to the fact that my PDRHX35 can't move enough air with the increased volume of air the system is capable of.

Guys, do not worry about how much boost you have. All it's is a measure of heat and restriction. The hotter the air and the more restriction equals higher boost. Most of you do not need to worry about it.

When you add Cooler Tubz, it can flow more air with less restriction while equaling lower IAT. Now you have denser air and less boost.

Clear as mud???

I can make them easy enough out of tubing but it's the beauty of them that atracts me, I love the way they make your engine compartment look, last time i seen a price it was somthing like $250.00 or somthing that is not overpriced.

I'm running a set of his tubes to a 2nd gen air horn. I like the look and appreciated the slight drop in EGT's as well. You won't notice anything by "seat of the pants" feel but they do look good.

I think he quoted another guy on the other forum $170 for the set.
