7"X6" and only 5/8" of actual intake tract needed it will fit almost any application. 4" and 5" tube flanges in either aluminum or steel or a combination of both.
Is my air shut off a status thing? Do I need to spend more on it to be part of the cool kid crowd? It works, its simple, and I am not lining someone elses pockets by buying their over priced shut off.
And if you wanna pimp your products here and try to sell them, become a site sponsor they would love to have you on board...unless you are too cheap to pay for advertising.
For those that need to build an air shut off on a budget...
TJ,
That first line in your post opened the door for other air shut off options. Everyone has a budget to some degree and you addressed one sector of this forum and our sport with a product that many people use currently. Time and time again new ideas come up in these threads and people learn about alternatives for their own projects. You yourself, I am quite sure have learned a thing or two on here, now if no one ever posed any other options all of our trucks would have the exact same mods and cost the exact same to build, what fun is that? Its not about status or part of some cool kid crowd as you put it, its about having new options. Now feel free to tee up and take another whack at me if you wish, but think about your own experiences. Your reading a post and you jump right on board with some product and buy it only to find out what you are really looking for gets brought up a week later and you wished you would have known about it. This shouldn't look that out of place when you take that into consideration. Chris
When that time comes that you dare spend more for your air shut off than your oil change and you want a precision piece.......
Not enough time to get it ready. I pretty much gotta have all my stuff ready by about 6-7 pm wednesday so I can load it up since we are leaving at 10. I'll be getting it together after TS tho and be able to use it the rest of the year
You could at least bring it to TS to chop up the lettuce for the burgers! :hehe: Looks good T.J. I like it. I think it is great how folks can design and build products in their garage that work as effective as a several hundred dollar piece that is machined and anodized and all the fancy stuff. That makes for competition and keeps prices down. It also forces manufacturers to look at their products and figure out ingenious ways to cut production costs and still have a quality product. No slam to you Chris, I like your device, looks nice. But I'm sure if you cut out the machined logo and bought those parts in larger quantites you could easily cut $100 off your product and more folks could afford them.
Keep your fingers out of it T.J.!
I highly doubt a 5.9L engine can run at 4krpms breathing through a hole smaller than 1/8"...so I don't get the comment about the "huge gaping hole"
I'll pick up the coupler tonight, and put it on the the truck and test it. Also if I mount it directly to the turbo it can in fact be run with my AFE filter. I'll get pics of that too.
