What's out there for upgraded up pipes? I remember seeing some but can't remember who made them. I guess I'm just trying to find out how far to go with this. I know nothing is easy with the cab on but I'm just weighing my options.

The wop kit is really nice. I have one sitting here to go on my dads f450 just need to find some time to get it on.

This looks much easier than removing the tranny..
Regardless good luck with it.

I fully agree to pulling the cab. It looks ALOT easier but my shop isn't setup for that yet. I think I may just go with the WOP kit and replace the up pipe with OEM for now. I'm gonna try to avoid pulling the tranny if I can.
I got arms and hands like Gumby. I should be able to weasel my way in there. LOL

if you do the WOP kit, then there really shouldnt be a reason to yank the cab. it takes just as long to drop the tranny then to pull the cab and even less on a 2 wheel drive.
like i said, resort to removing that stuff till the very end. good luck bud

I replaced both up pipes when my cab was off to pull heads, stud, gate, etc. and I went oem. I hear Arron had 6.0 up pipes modded to fit his but don't know how it turned out in short or long run. One of my major considerations when modding is to stay as close as possible to oem. If a breakdown or problem occurs I don't need the hassle of waiting weeks/mos. to get another "specialty" component to get up and running again. FFT is all.

very true!
the 6.0/6.4 manifolds work great and havent heard of any failures. seems like the driver side bellow on the up pipe seems to be common, as well as the up pipe bellow for the EGR horizontal cooler.

Just ordered an OEM up pipe with all gaskets, WOP wastegate setup, and a CFM elbow and Elite Twin Tube pipe from Rudy's. Thanks for the info guys.

Our kit can be done cab-on, hardest part is getting the stock coolers out. Goes together pretty easily after that.

Yeah I was only concerned with the Elite kit at first until I heard about WOP's. The coolers are already out so the install will be simple. Thanks Jacob. I believe you were who I talked too today.

Installed the up pipe today. Didnt remove the tranny or anything. Went pretty well actually. I would definitely do it again cab on. BUT I will say I'm glad I had the EGR coolers out of the way already. Now I'm just waiting on the wastegate and IC pipe...

If I don't do a single, I'm definitely considering the WOP wastegate setup.

Got the wastegate setup and intake elbow yesterday. Still waiting on the IC pipe. Thanks Rudy's and WOP.
Hopefully get the wastegate installed today. Sorry for the crappy pic...
