Aluminum...

Got it thanks ;-) I was referring to his post above that one that stated above

the intake is aluminum , stainless would be great but its way too heavy , and would add to the cost. that being said , the aluminum has chines in it from the bender, its not welded, its a custom bent piece . if you want the easy route you can make it shine pretty easily with a bench buffer and a bit of elbow grease. if you want it the way I ship them out polished, you better get a bigger boat. its multiple stage sanding with a final wet , then a heavy buff treatment. not for the faint of heart , but very doable. a quick google search will give you a heads up on how to do it.

[WHY NOT]

Morgan....Now I'm confused...lol

You're saying it is Aluminum? WHY NOT Said it was Stainless Steel???

I was wrong I just thought it was stainless for some reason. Either way some sanding and then a good polish will get it done nicely. Start off with 400-600 grit paper and work you way up to 2000 grit with wet then something like a power ball can even get a nice shine out of it but a buffer and some polishing rouge will work much better

Why does the rubber bit have such a kink in it??
It just doesn't look right from that pic??

 

[jcain]

That's how mine is for whatever reason, right or wrong, I couldn't tell you. My pipe is right up to the coolant overflow tank as well. Unless I'm supposed to keep shoving the pipe down into the boot...?

 

[lobe50]

Yes now I'm very curious, I'm not liking the look of that at all. I'm glad you posted the pic because that would have driven me nuts lol

 

[jcain]

I tried many different angles etc and that's the final outcome.maybe someone else with one will chime in

trim a bit of the turbo side of the boot off, I trim them here before they ship , but every truck is a little different. until my custom boots are here , I have been limited to the boots readily available. I haven't heard of any kinking, and that certainly wont affect performance, but it will , if too long on the 4.5" side, throw it close to the coolant bottle and cause that.

I slid mine way up in the boot and I didn't have any kinks. Had to play with it for a while. But it's good now.

That's what we did also on my sons truck...no kinks..I like the color Jcain....

 

[lobe50]

Does sliding it up in the boot also help w the other issues that others are mentioning? Ex... Hitting hood., pinching coolant lines, etc....

Also, Bigpwr any time frame on your custom boots coming in?
Thanks
