I'd have to say the service life is quite acceptable.
Keep up the great work. Cummins powered Chevys are hard to beat !!

Good to hear on the rear, although thats 240k, you work it more than many, certainly more than my application!

You can get a he351cw for $350. The he turbo is from an 04.5-07 5.9cr and will make a little more power and will spool a little sooner because they have a tighter exhaust housing. 9cm on the he351cw compared to the 12cm on most hx35w's.
The down pipe seems cheap, the IC piping and elbow, I'd buy elbows and build it myself before I spent that much on the stock stuff. The upper horn is usually $50 used. A bead roller, some 45* and 90* 3" elbows, a welder, and you're in business.
