ok guys, i am doing some research for some parts that i am trying to get together before pulling season. my question for all of you is, what is the best y bridge? i already have a 3 inch air to air pipe so should i go with the full bridge and have it be a potential PITA to pull the valve cover. or should i just buy another pipe and go with a shorty? i was somewhat leaning towards a wherli fab one because it is priced right, he does good work, and is somewhat local for me. but, i have not heard much on his bridges or ever really seen one. any input would be great.
LLY: whats the best Y bridge?

on a stock turbo truck, the best one is the easiest one to install haha. luckily you have a LLY and not a LMM
And I'm pretty Joe makes DHD stuff I installed one of Joes 3" y bridges it works great but install is tricky on the lower from passenger nut it's a real pita to tighten. It seems to have helped cruising egts and a little on peak truck weighs 13klbs at all times so egts are always warm
As far as I know, Tony fab's his own bridges there at DHD/AllSeasons
I've got his 3" Y-bridge and I'm pleased with it. It has a pretty nice transition at the split, craftsmanship was very good, and it fit perfect, it being constructed of aluminum pipe and being round actually made it easier, IMO, to get to the mounting bolt heads
In my case, adding the Y-bridge made a significant improvement in throttle response while cruising while also producing less soot out the exhaust pipe when under the turbo, it's a valuable upgrade in my opinion, however keep in mind it was the final piece so to speak, of all my air intake and plumbing mods for the charge air. In place already were a BD intercooler, full egr delete w/3" tube, air intake and ram air scoop, manifolds and up pipes and a 4094vvt.
But in the end, every little thing counts
and now I'm adding an HSP intercooler hot pipe to totally complete/compliment the system with the new addition of the VGT 72

Maybe he used to im not sure just speculation lol both have some cool stuff for sure
What do you guys think about the stock bridge with a 3in inlet? I may do mine when i put in my new manifolds and up pipes.
the j pipe going into the bridge is still only 2.5 inches, and its still to pieces so it can blown out of the bridge.
We need to start a duramax

I was talking about just welding to the stock bridge vs a all new bridge like DHD.

Then start it... But it will start crap and probably get locked, because for example, some may feel that Trent is a scammer and con, wheras others will think he was a great dude who contributed to the Dmax community. Same with dmitri.
