Im thinking of oredering this for my truck from enterprise engine they are about 10 minutes away from my house. They want 580$ for it i think.. has anyone found it cheaper? Im planning on installing it myself ho w much mechanical knowledge does it take to install? Will there be any other parts i need to buy besides whats included in the kit? Any other installation advice or things i should look for would be appreciated..

It comes really complete. About all you will need is general tools and a drill of the right size for the mount holes in the frame. It's a matter of running the fuel line and bolting everything together. It only takes a couple of hours. When I did mine I hooked everything up, filters and all, left the feed line loose from the injector pump, dropped the hose in a pail and kicked the ign. It will purge all the air and put a gallon or two of fuel in the pail. Hook it up and I did not have to bleed the system.

check out idealdiesel.com looks like they have FASS for $549.99(less shipping)... I bought mine from them when they were called Western Diesel Performance... Install is quick and easy... the hardest part was removing the OEM fuel feed line... I recommend using long needle nose pliers and really study the instructions...

Keith and I put mine on out at FOrest City Diesel. The hardest part was getting the holes drilled to mount it. The rest is just running wires and hose. The instructions are pretty straight forward. The only thing I remember, I think, is they had the ports messed up in the book and the thing would not prime. Keith can tell you what that was. His number is in the banner at the top of the page when it comes up.
Word of advice, drain the original fuel supply line from the tank to the engine. We didn't do that and thought we had a fuel leak but it was only the fuel in the abandoned line coming out.

I got my stack off a friend (he got his up there) I got it off him for $50 then I ran 4" from my motor used an adapter from stock i I think Its 3 1/2 then i ran the pipe (had to remove the spare tire) After I had the whole pipe ran I took the stack and eyeballed where I wanted it I then cut the stack to the length I wanted . now for the angle I turnt it out the passenger side a little .....now to piece it all together I took the stack and welded a 6"to 4" adapter in to it then added a 45 degree elbow then pryed and banned and torched and welded for a little bit . Becarefull on OD and ID (out side and inside diamaters) On the elbows and adapters end result abuot $150 gone ,bloody nuckels, dirt filled eyes,no spare tire but man it sure sounds mean as H*LL. BUT this is truly not a 4" strait pipe .............Because its not ran 4" from the turbo back its just from before the condencer.Most people who talk about having a 4" strait pipe really dont.Ill post some pics in a new thred if you want to see go to 2nd gen performace ....gimmie a min I just went out and took the pics I hope this helps

What is the name of the place you got your 4"-6" adaptor. I'm kind of familiar with the area but I dont remember seeing anything like that. And all I have been able to find in Lancaster is a 4-5 and thats what I already have.
