Forgot to mention how straight the body is. I haven't explicitly gone dent hunting, only saw one ding on the thing so far. I'm on leave this week, so will try my luck at the pull and pay first to try and target my need for instant gratification, but if I strike out I'll keep you in mind Brody.

It's just been sitting; I thought about throwing it in my K2500 but my truck came factory with the K47, plus I'm debating building a true CAI for it.

You have a tru CAI sitting right there in the picture. What don't you like about it? K47 is just a larger filter element that goes in the same box.

The biggest thing about the factory intake is the damn accordion neck; my IATs are ridiculous in the summer time, so I was going to go with some tubing from SiliconeIntakes, build an aluminum box, and wrap everything in an unhealthy amount of heat wrap.

Plus I think it'll look cooler.... actually I think that's the only reason.

I always wanted to use polished copper on my old Mk3 Supra. I even had a piece of old copper sewer pipe to do it. I ended up selling the car, Though.

I'm not sure what my IAT's do while driving. I just don't look at them much. I really should get a better scanner or software to look at that stuff. My old OTC scanner is clunky.

Silicone intakes is less than 10 minutes from my house. They let me wander around once, pretty impressive setup. Of course they're also Frozen Boost and a couple other companies. I'll miss being able to just drive over there to get stuff.

Glad you found a solid plow truck and family hauler combo! The newer plow designs are pretty easy to attach and detach as needed in the winter.

What a unit. Good score! Reminds me of my truck except short bed, same interior also.

I was thinking similar at some point... even just a 45* elbow to ditch the resonator and replace that mess. Kind of a solution in search of a problem, but might "clean the engine bay" look up a bit. IDK, but thinking along those lines as well.
