Doesnt look bad at all. How thick is it and what is it? might stay cooler than stock tubes.

just got the Mark VIII fan in today, the aluminum radiator and powder coated 3G alternator were finished recently as well. Still need to install the new relays for the fan when they come.

Thanks, IIRC it's a 3" 90* rubber plumbing elbow and a 3" rubber female-female coupler. They looked to be about 1/8" thick.

valve adjustement went great
made a world of differnece in the idle, throttle response, and how quickly it starts up. I need to go back in the pass side and redo a few that are still making noise, and it needs a oil change before i can really tell.
