Up Pipes...

BigPSD · Nov 10, 2014

Whats the play on this, passenger side... Bloody leak is pissing me off, sounds like my old 351cid F150...

Simple gasket between the manifold and up pipe or complete replacement of both with aftermarket? Whats the best aftermarket pipes if so?

From the picture, that looks like it is leaking on the outlet side of the flange, so the pipe is probably cracked just inside the flange. If so, a Gasket is not going to fix it.

Ah, ****...Just found gasket and online, was hoping for a nice and simple $5 fix but I don't think thats gonna happen if it seems to be on the flange... http://www.rivercitydiesel.com/inde...ategory_id=72&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=54

put 6.0 exhaust manifolds on it with custom up-pipes and you wont have to worry about them again

Thats what I'm thinking... BD kit any good?

If you are going to stick with stock style manifolds and up pipes I recommend MPD stock style heavy duty up pipes. Excellent quality

Well Im thinking about going with a single in the future. Im wondering if 6.0L manifolds and custom up-pipes will help that or just some MPD HD up-pipes do?

I have the BD Manifolds on mine and just did a set on a customers truck, for the money its really hard to beat. You get everything you need to install the manifolds and up pipes for 895.00 shipped. And they are very high quality pieces.

6.0 mani's are a good cheap upgrade. I vote RCD's with their uppies or Steed's. BD makes a decent set as well, but i've never been around any to give real feed back. I'm currently running a 66 single and the truck will be getting eithe RCD's or Steed's. let me know if you need pricing on anything. :ford:

For reference, heres some from a recent install.

Has anyone seen or used the flo-pro stainless up pipes yet?

SEABEE08FX4 · Nov 11, 2014

They just released them so I don't think anyone had a chance to try them just yet.

These uppies are for the stock manifolds and wont work with 6.0 manifolds you would need custom uppipes if you are going with the 6.0 manifolds like this

or

http://www.elitedieselengineering.com/product/14550013/Custom-up-pipes-for-use-with-60L-Manifolds/

and you will need the manifolds

http://www.elitedieselengineering.com/product/14550015/60L-Exhaust-Manifold-Conversion-Kit/

Or you could get the complete BD kit like eric said before.

Do they offer them with egr provision or would I have to order custom up pipes for 6.0 manifolds? I have a wastegate that will go on at the same time that uses the provision.

White_monster · Nov 12, 2014

No egr provisions from BD and they have no plans to offer it either.

No EGR provision, but you could always modify it for one.

BigPSD · Nov 12, 2014

Thanks for all the other replies. What a kick in the balls, just ordered a EGR kit also, when all i really need now is the coolant plugs and elbow. Flo Pro 30800EGR kit would of worked very well. I think I'm just gonna go ahead with the BD kit. Seems like its of decent quality and then I won't have to worry about the mani or gaskets going down the road on me. I guess they flow a bit better to boot...
