    I don't know if anyone has made one for the NNBS trucks yet but there have been plenty that have made them for just about every other truck out there

    I know Ricky has a thread on here about his that has pics and all. And I'm sure there is more than one that has pics also.

    I'm pretty sure you can get just about everything you need at Home Depot or Lowes. Just some 3" or 3.5" PVC, some rubber coublers, and some clamps and you're good to go.

    Edit: I stand corrected. It HAS been done for the NNBS. ^^^^

    i made my own for my 08'silverado and 09'denali,,on the 09' i just cut the maf sensor to make it look likethe old style,and got all the parts from oreillys(spectre)brand 4inch,and slapped a k-n on the end.it made a nice difference on the denali,,not much on my silverado.all im lacking is a heat shields.


    heres on the denali,u see i cut the maf,,wont hurt anything,,didnt want to wait for k-n to come out with one.

    I remember seeing a step by step thread on how to make one with pvc pipe for the nnbs trucks over on gmfullsize.com It actually looked pretty good. I'll see if I can dig it up!
