If going with the Magnuson kit, it will come with a hard intake hose from the factory air box to the SC intake and a K&N filter. This is the equivalent of the AirAid Jr.

I prefer my air charge to come from the fender and not the hot engine compartment myself.

I was thinking same about hot engine bay air.

Sounds good. If you don't mind, please send us an email [email protected] and Justin can get the pricing and other details squared away. You can use a local shop, we can help with using the AutoCal for tuning, we have instructions that will walk you through the steps on our website, and we can help by email and phone as well.

any progress? I haven't heard from Justin yet.

I have no direct experience mind you, my own research and after talking with Justin @BlackBearPerf and @Rocket Man , I like the Magnuson TVS1900 and the Whipple. I forget now what Mark put on his!

How do you like the sound of the Magnaflow? Did you ever take a video of it? I've not heard a good one of it and was considering it for mine when the time comes as I have their cats and y-pipe.

sorry for the delay here is some sound videos of my magnsaflow cat back, done with iPhone

That sounds more quiet than my stock exhaust! Is that a system or just the muffler? The pipe behind the exhaust tip looked like mild steel and not original.

its definitely much louder than stock, it might be iPhone messing with the sound, will try with GoPro, its is a full cat back, truck is exposed to salt water and sand throughout whole year, I have had whole undercarriage treated with eastwood coating.

what were you looking for?

I'm just always curious what is inside the more expensive cans.

A lot of catch cans are advertised and never even show a picture of what's inside... like its some big proprietary secret... lol

big secret revealed, maybe i have a lawsuit coming my way, lol Don't think there is anything proprietary about this one, just paying for the name, but it's very well build.

Some of the cheap fleabay cans are just that... a can, nothing more, nothing less.... lol

I was also curious because they call it an air/oil separator instead of calling it a catch can.

that would a nice alternative to welding.
that's what I was thinking, but wondering about leaks? does anyone have any experience with them? I guess it could get weld in later on just in case of leaking.

Wow, not sure how I missed this thread... Congrats on going with a blower, you won't regret it. I'm VERY happy with my ZL1 blower rebuild. I ended up getting a little out of control and pulling my 6.2L and installing a stroked 402" iron bock. I guess mine is more of a daily driven race truck which you said you didn't want but still would have been pretty awesome in an off road rig. My motor is making way more power than I thought, close to 900hp. I get more compliments in my truck than I do with my 1967 Camaro. It sounds like a muscle car with the Kooks 1 7/8" headers and gutted Kooks Y pipe.

Make sure to keep us updated on the install progress...

I hear you. I can see myself going crazy with engine modes, hope not, fingers crossed.
