I never liked the "slab sided" look of the Expedition and after seeing the SEMA Expedition that Baja Forged created I knew that was the look I wanted. The only fender flares available on the market at that time were the rubber one-size fits all type. I contacted Baja Forged and asked to be on...
I went back and found some of my comments I shared with Hellwig:
The diameter of the Hellwig bar is 22mm and the OEM bar is 22mm
The weight of the Hellwig bar is exactly the same as the OEM bar - both indicated 10.6 lbs on my digital bathroom scale.
The Hellwig bar bolts to the end links in...
Yes I did go with Hellwig - It was very similiar to the existing rear bar on my Timberline both in diameter and weight. If I had to do it again I would first replace all the OEM bushings with HD urethane bushings before spending the money on a new rear bar.

+1 I always wear my seat belt - but when I get home and check the mailbox at the end of my driveway - I dont put my seat belt on - the chime was driving me crazy - I went through the procedure and it worked.
Pilot sounds like you are educated and have done your homework - if it were me and I had that data I would do exactly what you are contemplating - open up the air flow to the IC. If you are not going to tune and increase boost - based upon your load values I dont see much advantage in a new IC...
