And the frustration starts to build!!!!!! No shop in Houston wants to cusom build a setup for me. Also, as Im sure you guys with a 4.6 already know, there are currently NO bolt on fi systems for our trucks sc or turbo. WTF?!?!?!?!?! So...........am I giving up? F no. Whta I am going to do is look at diagrams of standard twin t setups and try to draw up one that'll work for my truck. Go to a local exhaust shop and beg them to bend and cut the pipes for me and go it solo.


Blackbetty this is where you jump in and say " look at these drawings I came up with for my truck" I saw in another thread that some people have been talking about fi for our trucks for awhile (4.6) well Ill pop that cherry as long as you continue to help as much as you guys all have.

Also Im tossing around the idea of a sc from a mustang and trying to get that to fit. Might be easer IDK

Well,if you guys are not ready to jump right into this right now.

A friend of mine and I are looking into starting our own performance and fabrication shop.

We are pricing out a plasma cam,5 or 6 axis water jet,mandrel bender,etc.

We might be able to assist you on getting the pipes you need...

Just a thought
