"Ya bro last night! Added like 10 horsepower i think, It really helps, you should get one too!!"
"I'll order one when i get home."

I'm laughing my *** of and get up to go get a bag of chips, this is what come back to.....

"Ya my cousin got some Summit truck headers they're awesome. They're shorties and make so much more power. I even got a set of my own and they added so much power."

At this point, i walked off.......

And to think, these guys are training to be in the auto industry.....

And they are driving newer trucks.

Oh that's not that bad. I mean the intake is just some tubing an couplers and since there all about the same does it really matter who made it? Of course I'm still using the stock intake tubing at the moment. I will be upgrading soon, but that has more to do with the TBSS intake than anything else.
