I am trying to find and see someone who chiseled there torqe tube instead of building one with an aluminum pipe, 90 degree elbows....etc. Who kept the stock setup but took the plastics out of the middle tube??

I built my own...i figure its gotta have a benefit over the stock one with the inners removed or companies like AFE wouldnt be around. I built it for about $50...

VikingDiesel

you mean the typical, right??? 4" pipe about 8" long, T-clamps, (2)90deg rubber elbows????

yup... if you want to do it all nice, try getting a aluminium 4" j shaped pipe. Cut it on the bottom. THe lower elbow doesnt fit perfectly, sorta rubs on the oil filter and mount, then use a straight fitting...if you can weld it, weld the remainder of the J cut on the top and use another straight.

i dont have any pics of it but, the the cross piece is acutaly 2 pices put to gether , u can tell wich piece is the top piece that comes off, then i turned it on its side and hit the baffle cross pieces till the top pices pops off, then slide the baffles out and use a glue or some sort of thing to put the top back on, i went back over mine with black tape to make sure no dirt got in.And my camera is on the reciver hitch , setting were the safety chains hook, and bungy corded on.

I just popped the top piece on the outer canister off using a small flat head screwdriver, then the inner baffles will slide right out. Once you have those out, epoxy the top piece back on (you can also run a few small screws in there if you like) and you should be done. Reinstall your new "gutted" stock torque tube and go enjoy the turbo whistle.

The top piece meaning the one closest to the intake box and NOT the turbo, correct??

seen one with a coffee can in its place.

I popped mine out but after seeing how flimsy the tube is that is left I ditched it, the worm clamp was enough to colapse the wall and allow air to bypass the filter, I picked up a torque tube from the dtr store and have that in now with the bhaf. sleep better at night now

VikingDiesel

Im confused on what you mean, I just popped the whole middle baffled piece out and thats it, NO CHISELING or nothing. SOUNDS SAWEET!!!!!

mikmaze

if you just took out the crossed waffle board you didn't fully gut the baffle tube, those ridges that stick inwars inside the tube cause quite a bit of restriction as well, after removing them you will see how flimsy what is left becomes.

I took evertyhing out, ill post pics
