You will get varied opinions on whether they are worth it. Personally, I think they are if you have done other things to compliment it. Don't spend big money on something like the AFE Torque Tube.

Get two of these: http://shop.airflowonline.com/Mercha...tegory_Code=9D

Get four of these: http://shop.airflowonline.com/Mercha...gory_Code=IHC1

Get one foot of this: http://shop.airflowonline.com/Mercha...tegory_Code=IT

Check my member pics to see what it looks like. You will have less than $40 in it total. You spend more than that on beer for the weekend. It's cheap enough, if you don't like it, chunk it and go buy another case of beer. For that kind of money, I'm surprised everyone here hasn't done this by now. Look out though, that turbo is gonna sing!

That's exactly what I did, except I got a 7" long piece of 4" from Jason at NorthWest Custom (free)(some scrap tubing that he is making Twins out of) and had it powdercoated for $10. Less than $60 invested!

For this to clear your oil filter, You will have to cut about 1" off the bottom 90* that attaches to the turbo. On the bottom side of the 90* I took an extra 3/8" off for a better line-up with my AirAid.

I have only run one tank of fuel through it at this time. I got just a hair better mileage, better throttle responce and no more noise. I didn't take the silencer ring out of the turbo. I didn't want any extra noise.
