I had mufflex make me a custom y years ago. Honestly, it wouldn't have been so expensive had they not sold me cats that cost something around $200-300 a piece. Just make sure you tell them what you want.

my buddy is getting his exhaust done at this place. I like that they have oval tubing too for extra clearance for the Y:

They are talking about the stock TPI intake Jake:

And FWIW, I think that the bellows in the nose that are supposed to keep water out of the intake block more air than the Y itself. I would think that it would be ok. Before pricing a custom one, why not try back to back passes with and without it? Or back to back dyno runs?

I guess I could swap them in to see the difference.

I was wondering what it meant to have a Y snorkel :lol:

but I guess we could discuss, have you figured out what you are doing for the exhaust yet Al?

he's towin the bitch to mufflex with that awesome truck. it should be full of :rofl: :willy: :shock: and of course :Pal:

i was gunna come up to work on it but i'm still not feeling 100%, how's tomorrow? sneak out of teh dump erm autozone early?

Yeah sounds good. I got the hoses done mostly. Need to figure out the heater hose stuff.

Lower. Im gunna get some of that protectant sheilding that should stop the idler arm bracket from wearing a hole in the side of the hose.

Black gorilla duct tape? Should work wonders and blend in.

Is that the Jeep hose? Doesnt look like it really fits any better than the F350 hose if it is

To be honest I just started pulling hoses off the shelf them fabbing them up to the WP I have in stock. I will cross the number over to see what it is.

C70115 is the pn for the hose. Fits late 90's troopers and merc mountainers.

cut it down some on the waterpump side to help pull it away from the wonda?

Why didnt you go with one of the ones that are in the sticky's on TGO?

It hits the idler arm, not the wonderbar, unless it is and I cant see it from the perspective

you were right, its the idler mount. nothing that moves.

Thanks to big Kirk and Adam for helping me out the past few nights, especially Adam!

exactly what i was thinking

anyone ever try this stuff? It even mentions LS1 applications on the front page

It has shielding on it. Rests right between the two bolts.
Ok, so it turns over. We didnt get the trans fittings in (thats gunna be fun) but tomorrow we should have a vid of the car running.

Yeah...apparently VATS was not disabled in my PCM....so now I need to scramble to get that done.

Let's see what the "Dr" can do tomorrow morning :)

I gotta thank everyone for helping me out. Its great to have friends like this!
Again, thanks to everyone! Hopefully, this does to trick.

Well, we have hit a snag. We have fuel, it turns over, but no start. There is no spark to any of the coils. We poked and the coils are getting power, but no spark?
Neither bank of coils want to fire? We are going through the list, Brian and Adam are here with diag tools, and we are trying to chase it down.
I think we are coming to a conclusion that it might be a bad crank sensor.

Injectors are firing, we see RPM on scan tool.
No coil firing.

Seems to possibly be a bad pcm.

(waits for kirk's computer)

****. The red rocket is gonna give my car the hiv.

did you ever connect that ground from the engine to the frame?
