are these going on a truck with mucho fuel and air? i hope so!

motoxracer42 · Feb 8, 2012

what size is the outlet? did i hear 2.5"?

CamTom12 · Feb 8, 2012

Looks like 2.25 from Shawn's thread.

patrickke · Feb 9, 2012

relatively close to stock for now I believe...

Yes it'll be tight but the outlet being no further back and a little downward of the original should give us enough room to use a 2.5inch mandrel bend for the up pipe

This is what confused me. Pretty big drop in velocity at 2.5". Spoolup would be worse.

i think the tell tale strength will be told once they see big fuel, upipes are gonna be fighting for their lives.

From the look of them, it should scavenge the exhaust better.

patrickke · Feb 9, 2012

I believe the test is going to be to see the overall changes though

Up Pipes Fabbed

Just finished the Up Pipes. They are 2.5 in and go to 2.25 at the turbo.
Did some porting to the turbo from a little less than 2" to 2.25"
I'll get finish install pictures tomorrow before we lower the cab

Sweet! Any provision for wastegates planned in the production run?

PowerStroke Connection · Feb 10, 2012

Yes, This truck didn't need one so we didn't put it in. The production runs will include the same configuration on the right up pipe as stock so people can use whatever they have now.

not concerned with no flex without bellows?

my thoughts exactly.

look what happens with the factory uppipes in the 7.3s....

theres alot of movement. cracked pipes are in that truck future.

Kind · Feb 10, 2012

Nothing says they can't cut a section out and weld them in.

PowerStroke Connection · Feb 10, 2012

For our first run and to get numbers we elected no bellows. As you, we have experienced the flex of others also. And as I'm sure you've seen the 6.0 flexes break and leak so its kind of a shot in the dark as to which will be better. The production run manifolds will be slightly different so we'll need to remake pipes anyway. Good question though.

Finished install pictures

For those of you wondering about clearance

AND YES, I see the stud hitting the pipe!!!! Already taken care of!!!! Thanks for asking.

We will be submitting our final changes to get these into production right away. I'll let everyone know when we can expect delivery of them and once we get the final versions we'll knock out the final versions of the up pipes so they can be purchased with the manifolds. We don't know where price is going to land on pipes yet.

One thing is sure, based on our experience with these products they will be well worth it.

STAY TUNED later next week for the numbers!!!
