But really, back on track. We have seen and heard of a lot of failure's on just stock trucks.
Had a friend who's dad bought a new 6.7 Powerstroke and failed at 13k miles totally stock. The dealer wouldn't even warranty it:( I assume the the pipes are plastic injection molded, and the exact quality is difficult to keep up at mass quantity.
did they say why they wouldnt cover it?
Hes referring to the cheap Chinese made mishimoto stuff.
it was completely bone stock and not covered under warranty..

Blew mine recently. It sucks and its a huge headache to deal with. No boost and you better hope the sensor didnt get lost in the process...

Oh and avoid mishimoto and buy H&S.
Still trying to get warranty work done on mine. Made a mistake buying theirs and it did not have a CNC made port for the sensor. (Poor customer service) Of course if you install without sensor youll only get about 4 lbs of boost and a check engine light code. Oh and a lot of smoke

Did you leave the sensor unplugged or plugged in laying in the fender?

You can leave it plugged in and reading ambient temp with no issues. the temperature change between the two is very minimal. The only time you may see a excessive higher reading is at idle or constant low speeds. Regardless, I do agree that it's better to have it as factory as possible.

The problem was boost and power though, plugged in or not on my 12 at least; I only was able to get around 4-6 psi max lol. I use the truck for work also and didn't want to risk damaging anything with my luck lately haha

What is the difference between the two H&S kits? One is OEM replacement and the other is for tuned trucks, but what is the difference?

I wonder how restrictive the butterfly TB actually is compared to deleting it?

Under pressure...not enough restriction to measure at these power levels.

We did not see a noticeable difference between the two.

The kit that removes the throttle valve (122001) is more suited for someone that wants to clean up the appearance of the engine bay and/or has zero use or intentions of using the throttle valve again.

The OEM replacement kit (122004) attaches to the factory throttle valve and does not require any tuning at all to be installed. This is better suited for someone that may or may not return their truck back to stock, doesn't want to tune their truck, has a factory warranty still or is just trying to replace the problematic or broken plastic pipe and nothing else.

Both kits work well and are easy to install. I tell people that are on the fence between the two kits to just get the OEM replacement style (122004) as it is easy to return back to stock tuning if you ever needed or wanted and there isn't a noticeable performance gain between the two.

All of our kits are made in the USA and we take pride in that.

I had the butterfly valve delete kit from H&S motorsports before I demodded and I loved it!
