So I ran into a little issue, Everyone around me only can bend up to 3". If I want 3.5 or 4" I have to buy the pieces pre-bent and weld them together.

metzican - were you able to find all the other parts pretty easily? I have glanced over this thread a few times before, but never started sourcing out pieces just yet.

I can find all the parts. The only issue I have is getting the snorkel built. It either has to be pieced together or be 3" like oz did

Nothing wrong with 3" they've just gone to 3.5" to allow for better airflow on those plastic/fiberglass snorks...

I'm almost curious as to whether or not you'd see any benefit adding in a couple of the "vortex" deals in the pipe...

Well this project is shot for me. Not a single muffler shop around me can do 3" they all max out at 2.5". this sucks. Tried truck shops too. I guess I will have to fold and order the only one available unless ARB comes through fast.

Really? No diesel trucks with customs exhaust in your area? That is weird, perhaps ask around to someone that has a lifted modded diesel truck...

They can weld 3"+ pipe and my the mandrel bent parts. But no one can bend the parts them selfs. And with this on the outside I don't want to see all the welds right there. Plus with welding these parts they use a coupler so it would not be smooth.

Well, could you grind down the welds and sand/paint it to look good? I'm sure any metal shop would have a bender to do it especially if you supply the pipe. Could probably just have it shipped to them
