Some good stuff on that site. I like the air box to.

These things just look to damn easy to make and gettin easier with every post. In his case it looks like he just used some Rectangular tubing and welded the tube through it for the end links.

Easy enoug Doc. If I get these things figure out it wouldn't take nothin to do several sets at the same time.

I just went out and looked at the stock ones. Not worth the trouble. Talk about cheap, just stamped sheet metal parts.
