Message: [QUOTE="Tree Trimmer, post: 298351, member: 716"] wayne, your pic will work just fine. where they used a couple fittings, you would weld a 1" pipe nipple to your exhaust 2-4" long. from that nipple, you would use a female pipe to hose barb. this keeps the rubber away from the exhaust. pretty much, the piece in your pic, that is cut at the 45, would be the 1" nipple. you would then just attach your hose to it, via a fitting. seems to me, a much easier way, than all their fittings. cheaper by far, as well. this is allowing you use 1" stuff. if you use 3/4, you just adjust your sizing accordingly. just wondering, in erics truck. how far away from the valve cover does it turn down? i ask this, because on my 7.3, we turned the dog house around. thats pretty standard. but when we just ran the hose down to the can, i ended up with exactly what eric has. a flat out fking mess after about 20 miles. we ended up just running the hose up over the brake resevoir, and then down to the can. it forced any liquid oil that wanted to travel out the hose to go up 10ish inches, before it could go down. fixed my problem. cosmetically, i dont know how feasible that is, to make a loop of hose go up, then down to his can, and look great, but i bet you could make it look decent. it might be a worthwile concession he makes, to keep that oil mess off his frame rail. as for a container with baffles. after i ran mine up then down, i didnt need baffles anymore. we took a piece of 3" pvc, drilled in two fittings, two caps, and filled with steel wool. this is not mine, but is the same thing.
