It doesn't, it's all kinda built or cast as one piece. i don't know how to explain it. The thing i didn't think was smart was running the intake air through the same piece of metal that the exhaust left. Seems to me like it would heat up iat's.
gotta save the 6.5's damaged reputation. I surprised a 6.0 guy with my truck. His was more like the gutless pig. I think he must have gotten a retarded tune or something because i thought his truck would smoke mine. Mine towed much much better as well. Then his excuse was cubic displacement ;)
i get as low as 13 pulling a trailer and as high as 24 on the highway. The 24 was calculated over a 1200 mile round trip. Not a single stop the entire 600 miles and i kept it at 2000-2200 rpm. EGT's were at 450 pre turbo and boost was 2-4 psi sustained. I toped the tank off and parked it for a...

It still won't allow access to the fuel filter, At least on my 2000 i have to take it off, got sick of it and just left it off. I would think that it holds in heat against the ip/pmd and would get rid of it for that reason if no other....
I got some stainless grill inserts to go in the front, it doesn't completly cut off the air flow but i do know that it makes a diffrence. If i'm pulling a trailer then i do need to take them out unless i want to hear the radiator fan the entire ride. It had some clips that hold it in place on...
