Default Materials List

I am looking at doing the truck manifold set up and wondering if anyone has a parts list. ie how many 90s will i need, which flanges, how much of what tubing, etc. If anyone could help i would really appreciate it. thanks

this is about the best info youre going to get with what you are asking. Also do a search and find pics on the different setups using the truck manifolds because what you are asking depends on a few things...like the turbo you are using and its location, the intercooler you plan to use (dimensions), are you getting rid of any accesories, yadda, yadda, yadda. I hope this helps man and goodluck!

each kit will be different depending where you put the turbo and route the downpipe.
on mine i think i used 3 J-bends of 2.5" of .080" thick aluminized tubing, and one set of 2.5" vband for the up-pipe
then maybe four 90* elbows and a 3' straight section of 4" aluminized for the downpipe
and a 6' straight section with 2 more 90* and a 4" bullet muffler for the exhaust, and three 4" vband kits.
for the cold side i used two or three 3" .060" aluminum L's, and about three aluminum 4" .060 L's (cut and welded a 90* 4" aluminum elbow from the L' to my ebay intercooler to have a 4" out)
