I am wondering who is selling the larger tubes running to and from the intercooler because mine has 2 holes in it so I might as well upgrade while I'm replacing.

Can you just have the holes welded up (like I did) and cut the small end off the preI/C tube and then have a bead welded around it and go 3" all the way back up to the turbo (like some of us have)? I didn't do anything to the post I/C tube. The air is cooled down alot more over there and isn't able to take as much advantage of the larger dia (IMO).
On another note. I found the power steering line coming off the steering box had rubbed a hole on my preI/C pipe on the bottom. Any one else see this?
I did not know if Michael (killerbee) was making them or not. Maybe he can chime in?

Mine did not rub through......But it was close
Something else Ive seen is on the opposite side,The clamp on the IC was rubbing a hole in the brake line
FWIW i did the same as you with the IC pipes
Rub thru on the PS line is becoming a problem for us LB7 guys. Many many threads over at the Place about it. Most just weld it up.
Now whats this about cutting and beading? It helps? How much? Yeah, here we go again.....:rofl:

I've split a 6" long 3/8 ID fuel hose and zip tied it over the brake lines. Shouldn't be a problem any longer.
Lb7 pipes are 3" for the most part,Cutt off the reducer and put a bead on it
there are a couple threads about .... here is one http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7139&highlight=intercooler+pipes

As far as the PS lines I removed them and replaced with hose

I really do need to get under there with a flashlight and see if mine is wearing.
From reading that thread, I shouldnt have to change a thing.

i have no problem with them rubbing anything when i align the arrows and lines on them. there's alot of clearance on my truck, its just when i loosen them they start rubbing against stuff.
