is it good to pull the inner part out or is this nessary to leave in. it is after the air box and before the turbo

 

Mine has been missing since about 10k, I now have 24k with no problems. It allows it to breathe easier and you can hear the turbo more.

 

I put a piece of 5" exaust pipe in place of the whole thing.

 

Pull it and scrap it!

 

yup, pull it. I haven't done it yet, as I am not sure of the best way to do that, but I plan on doing it soon...

A must. Lost my crappy piping right after i got the truck. Sounds like a jet

 

So, whats the easiest way to pull that stuff out?

 

The easiest way to get rid of the intake innerds. Go gown to your local semi dealer, pick ya up a piece of 5.5 (works the best) or 5'in aluminum tube/exhaust pipe. Cut it the length of the plastic intake, clean it and re-install the aluminum in place of the plastic. The lower elbow to the turbo to remove the inner air deflectors. Throw the boot in the dryer for 10min or so, remove and work the air guide/deflectors out of the elbow. Here is my finished product. I painted mine red.

 

That looks exactly like mine, but mine is silver and steel. Ive yet to figure out the DC guys, just what in the world where they trying to do with those plastic pieces of junk.

 

Buckshotmckee, I'm ashamed to open my hood after looking under yours. Too many sand storms here to stay that purdy! I used schedule 5 PVC to replace mine. Didn't think about the lower elbow so I'll have to take a look at it. Like the hot red by the way. I went with black to not draw undue attention from the dealer but don't care anymore. Might paint the plastic valve cover as well. Thanks!
