You are correct sir

Yeah man. Great news! What intake are you going with? It'd be awesome if one of the cobra intakes(w/ the embossed snake) would work, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't. Hell, ya may even beat ibd to the finish line if your parts are together.

I see you bought those midpipes... Can you measure up the donut gasket for me before you toss them on? I need to find better replacements. P.S dont use those gaskets haha. The included Donut ones seem crappy too. I have leaks all around my collector flange.

Also - are you sure those mids will work on a 4x4? The lightning ones i believe are different and may not route properly around the trans or T case.
