Afe filter and torque tube installed

[ROCKJEEP]

I just installed the afe proguard magum and there torque tube on friday and all I can say is sweet. I defently feel the difference and everyone can hear the difference. Sounds like a jet taking off. I love it. The only part I didn't like is now I race this thing everywhere just to here the sound. I got it from www.proguard7direct.com Curtis there was great. I was leaving for the weekend and needed the filter. Being local he went to afe and piced my stuff up right off the assembly line and delievered it to me. I had it on it 20 min and will buy another one from him for my dads truck.

Hey, I was wondering about the torque tube... isn't that basically just a short piece of 4" exhaust pipe with a 90 degree bend, powdercoated with a 90 degree rubber hose fitting on one end and coupler on the other? Anyone MADE one of these? I could powdercoat it myself to make it look purdy... where's the best place to get the ruber fittings?

AFE Proguard 7 & Torque Tube

I'm crazy about my AFE setup too, I got it from Jeff at http://www.advanceddieselspecialist.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=102 , he beat everyone else's price, Jeff was and is very helpful. Call or email him and he'll usually even beat his own web advertised prices. See pictures in my gallery. The Torque Tube is basically a piece of pipe with a 90 degree and a straight thru rubber coupler on it. It was worth the cost as far as I'm concerned. Saved me having to have a pipe powder-coated myself, plus bother with finding the couplers.

I made mine! I got 2-90* elbows and clamps from Air Flow Systems and a straight piece of 4" exhaust pipe, 7" long that I had powder coated. You do have to trim the bottom 90* elbow to seat better on the turbo. It was really easy!

I have the same setup. It pulls nice.



For a small mod, you can feel a difference. I installed the filter first and felt it a little. The torque tube came a week later and really opened up the breather.



I am debating about the TAG next and maybe putting on the 4" down pipe from the turbo.



But the tag seems expensive for that small of a part. Who knows.

Do you have any pictures of how your truck looks with the 2" leveling kit on it?



Thanks, Brad

I installed my aFe and TT, and didn't notice a big increase in sound. But when I added the dual exhaust, that made a huge difference in the spool up time, and the turbo sound. Still not loud enough to drive me out of the cab, though. Maybe I need a bigger turbo? Hmmm...
