    Where did you get it? Is it natural gas tubing? Yeah you can smell it in the cab. I need to run it atleast 6' away.

    It is an espar heater exhaust pipe, available at Thermo King or Carrier for $50-$70. I cut it in half and connected it to 3/4" steel conduit which runs up alongside my truck exhaust. I removed the spark arrestor off the muffler and it was the correct size for the espar pipe. Use a little bit of Permatex Ultra Copper to seal the connections and secure it with hose clamps.

    Lol, nope. Just duck out of the way real fast after you fire it up so you don't get a shower.

    I did the same thing... started with a Ryobi 2300 and it wasn't enough. This Predator barely even revs up when the AC starts. The Ryobi sounded like a prop plane getting ready for take-off.
