Yep, up pipes are worthless unless you are according your stock bellows or are running huge air and fuel. Didn't Brian make 1100 rwhp or close to it on stockers?
The tow flow do not come with any form of wrap. You can get them ceramic coated. I'd leave the stock up pipes on there. Throw a lml manifold on the passenger side and call it a day.
He did, but if I recall his EGTs where thought the roof and they where holding him back. Also I think he did do them then and said he should of done them sooner.
But ya I wouldn't do them unless you have the money burning a hole in your pocket.

Brian had a remote turbo setup when he made 1000rwhp so aftermarket up pipes for sure.
I would run aftermarket up pipes and manifolds when you are maxing a certain setup out and need drive pressure to drop to keep things alive. Also depends on the hp you are striving for as well.

Fresh oil, oil filter and trans filter for the wife's over the weekend.
Mine got the same plus I went back to the stock air intake setup and put a fresh air filter in that as well. I swear, the truck hasn't ran & shifted this good in a long time!! :woott:

That's going to be so cool. I remember when I was young (heck, even now), the stuff I got that my dad made is always better than store bought. They may not recognize your effort now, but they'll remember it when they are older :thumb:

Painted my exhaust black yesterday. Removed, sanded with 150 grit, wiped with xylene, primer, bbq high temp black paint. Polished the muffler and tip of surface rust best I could. Put some copper anti seize on the joints and added my homebuilt tail pipe portion of the exhaust. Man it sure quieted the truck down.

Few more pictures. Haven't decide on whether or not to leave the tip, a black one would obviously look better but I don't want to paint a $120 stainless tip either

Took it to the beach. My little guy needed some time with daddy since the our new baby girl is taking up so much of our time.
