As far as long tubes - Call the manufacturer - They can help you out there for sure. Bad thing is, your prolly lookin at $800 + . Honestly , you get what you pay for - I'm positive you can get some for the 04 +.

As far as Troyer . I like his blower kits , but he's pricey. I get the same stuff 25% cheaper at the other suppliers (Autopartswarehouse.com & Performancepeddler.com)
The Blower kits @ http://www.madenterprise.com/scparts.htm.

Auto parts warehouse offers free shipping with purchases over $50 . Performance peddler does not. What makes that so great is with the peddler you can make them a best offer and submit what your willing to pay and they really want your buisiness.

You can go back and forth between the two venders a get the stuff dirt cheap sometimes. You never pay retail that way.


Kevin - My email changed - The MAC addy doesn't work . Same address but use @earthlink.net.

I reduced mine to 2 1/4 from the manifold back to the crossmember attempting to balence the backpressure needed - I don't have rear cats , my forward cats are 2 1/4 as well. It's pulls like hell now but I still have to much flow. I think I'm going to add the maggy high flows and see if that fix's it - My check engine light is coming on . The system clamped and it has to leaking a little . I could try to weld it up . I think I'm just going for the high flows to see what happends.

Kevin , remember my trans use to slip off the line, for almost a year. That Transgo kit and Amsoil fixed that . I can torque (both tires) for a warm up- no problem now.

I noticed the 01 that I'm using has a 8.8 rear gear and a 5four - It's stock , It's takes alot more effort to get them tires turning . My 98 w/9.75 rear gear starts torqueing the tires just above idle ...

I hear yuh there - by far the best bang for the buck is gearing for torque and it doesn't beat you up as far as economy which is a big plus if it's your daily driver.
Stock - Oversized (one size over) with the rubber - 4.10's would be choice
