What is the DPF and is it Worth Doing a DPF Delete? Most post-2007 diesel vehicles are equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) for emissions control. This back pressure disrupts and slows down the fuel flow, leading to reduced efficiency. Removing the DPF allows for smoother and faster fuel flow, which can enhance overall fuel mileage. 1hr with basic hand tools done on the ground of your driveway or garage. Cutting may be be required to fit shorter wheelbase bed/cab configurations.

He changed his mind, now have cab fully lifted and new motor here, just waiting for install kit that is back ordered til the cows come home. I did pull the head and found the cause, though. The roller lifters flat spotted on the cam and when clearances got too great, lost contact with the pushrods/rocker arms. If you are building a race truck then you pretty much have no need for a muffler.

We invite you to get behind the wheel with us, it's certain to be an interesting drive. We are so confident that we offer you a full 12-month warranty for the best tufting machines and related accessories at no cost to you. We will need you to record a datalog so we can revise & fine-tune the maps for you.

Visit our link to explore optional muffler additions for this race exhaust system. We are waiting for an install kit as well and NOBODY wants to give one up! One of the parts in the kit has an engineering/part number change.

But was the 6.0-liter Power Stroke really that bad? OE-quality exhaust products engineered for today's medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles. A downpipe back exhaust system just means you are going to get everything from the downpipe (the pipe at the very back of the turbo) to the tailpipe (the part that sticks out the back of the truck). You can see the best results from using a downpipe back system for two reasons, 1) if you go up in diameter, you are going to lower EGTs.

In our experience it makes a world of difference for getting the most out of your exhaust system no matter if you’re on a budget build or all out competition, FloPro has never let us down. Nothing looks better or lasts longer than stainless steel. The aluminized steel has a coating when scratched off will rust. But stainless steel does cost more than aluminized steel, ultimately if you can live with a rusty then you can save yourself a few bucks at checkout. We provide detailed installation instructions with every purchase.

My brother pick up a used dually with the 6.0 on the cheap. The previous owner got to 76,000 miles before the factory stock engine was “extensively” rebuilt. So far the truck has made it another 20,000 miles w/o issues, but only does light (~3500 lb) towing these days. He’s looking to sell it mainly because it makes for a poor commuter vehicle and he is the only one in his family that’s willing to drive it.

Some believe that a 6.0 can be a reasonably reliable engine if it’s left stock and you’re anal with your maintenance. This is a departure from the 7.3, which can seemingly take all kinds of abuse all day every day. But, if you’re the kind of person who drives a stock truck, you may not get burned by a 6.0.

Take up to $300 off gas truck exhaust and up to $150 off diesel truck exhaust and components for a limited time only. Another big positive about Paradox Performance Mufflers is that you don’t need a whole new exhaust system with them. Simply replacing your stock mufflers with Paradox mufflers is often enough to get a big boost of quality sound.

1963 through 1968 model year C-1100 to C-1300 IH trucks could be had with diesel power, making them what some call America’s first factory-built diesel-powered light-duty trucks. In 2003 Ford began phasing out one of the greatest truck engines of all time. The 7.3-liter Power Stroke served as a reliable workhorse for years, but now it was time for truck buyers to get more power and cleaner emissions. The 6.0-liter Power Stroke launched that year and punched out more power, but also started to punch out wallets with expensive problems. What could have been a beloved follow-up is still hated by many today, and used truck prices reflect it.

Proponents of Dodge still love the 5.9-liter Cummins 12-valve straight-six turbodiesel and the fact that these engines will probably continue to work after the heat death of the universe. The folks in love with the General dig the 6.6-liter Duramax LBZ turbodiesel V8 for its ability to produce truckloads of power without the complications brought on by modern emissions systems. People are still paying near-new prices for these trucks even though it’s been nearly two decades since they were in production. The 6.7L Power Stroke’s secondary fuel filter (not the one along the frame rail) is notorious for cracking. This on-engine fuel filter is contained within a thin plastic cartridge and the cap is prone to becoming brittle and splitting.

If you were a driver in the 1990s or, heck, even today, there’s a chance your streets were plowed by a truck with one of these engines. If you were a kid like I was, you started each day with the familiar clackety sound of a DT466E or a T444E in the yellow school bus that picked you up. T444Es found homes in everything from box trucks to garbage vehicles.

The sound is deep and aggressive, exactly what i was looking for!! Compared to other exhaust systems i've tried, this one is by far the best in terms of build quality and ease of installation. This 4-inch straight pipe system boosts the total performance and torque of your diesel engine since it lessens back pressure and enables a smooth passage. If you want the loudness of straight pipes without the poor sound quality, you will almost certainly be better off with a loud performance muffler like the Paradox Hot Tamale.

The Ford 7.3-liter Power Stroke started life with a different company and with a different name. Our readers with experience in heavier trucking are familiar with the Power Stroke as the Navistar T444E. These engines served as the backbones of fleets for decades.

The 6.0 revs more and the rods live an easier life. Reportedly, the rods in the 6.0 are known for durability. We are a one-stop diesel performance shop for everything you need. This DPF-Back exhaust system is what your Chevy Silverado or GM Sierra are craving for. It features 4 inch over axle section into a 5 inch tailpipe. We offer returns and refunds for items within 30-day of receipt of shipment, Click Here for More Information.

Exhaust MaterialOur exhaust systems are crafted from T-409 stainless steel. Unlike T-304 stainless steel, T-409 is still magnetic. If you’re testing to confirm the material, be aware that a magnet will still stick to it, which is a normal characteristic of T-409 stainless steel. Some cutting may be required to fit shorter wheelbase bed/cab configurations.

Give your vehicle a unique sound with an MBRP Touring Profile exhaust. Enjoy a performance exhaust note without the aggressive volume. Your vehicle should have sounded this good from the factory. Give your vehicle a unique sound with an MBRP Tour Profile exhaust. Not only that, but virtually all places have excessive noise laws. And as we’ve already said, straight pipes are loud.

We provide the option to purchase insurance as we are not responsible for any damage while with a courier, we don’t often see issues, but it does happen. If you purchased insurance we will put in a claim, if no insurance was purchased there will be no refunds or exchanges. We will ship our products within Canada and the United States. This allows ambient air to diffuse the heated gas, eliminating the risk of melting a trailer, which has been reported by many owners. Receive our latest updates about our products and promotions. Straight pipes are usually loud, and often obnoxious.

But here are the most common vehicles that we see with straight pipe exhaust or muffler deletes. It had 287,000 miles on its odometer and came with a stack of service paperwork. Big ticket items included four injectors replaced before I bought the van and a turbo perhaps 50,000 miles before that.

Some quirks come with HEUI, such as the fact that you technically cannot run it out of oil. A 7.3-liter Power Stroke holds some 15 quarts of oil. Once you run it below 7 quarts or so, the HEUI system just won’t have enough oil to permit an engine start.

Was having almost as bad of a time with theirs as Ford was with the Power Shift around the same time and earlier, but the cult of VAG can’t admit that their products have any problems. In good news, though, either he or the first owner put on the coolant filtration system, and I believe the head studs have been replaced with the ARP units. All the electronics work, including the lovely and brilliant steering wheel controls for audio and climate controls (why don’t more vehicles have this?!). I mentioned some “bulletproofing” tactics above, but there are others.

On that occasion, we collected our bucket off the ground more than we care to admit.

So if your testing to see if you actually got stainless; beware that a magnet will still stick to it. We suggest the stainless upgrade if you regularly operate your truck on salted winter roads. All exhaust systems and DPF/CAT delete pipes are final sale and not eligible for a refund or return. However, if you receive a faulty product or the wrong product, we will send you a replacement. The kit fits all body styles of Ford Superduty, they come equipped with extra pipes and clamps for longer or shorter wheelbase trucks. The point about the cab is fitting for today’s tractors as well.

Aftermarket exhaust systems and mufflers can give you the sound and flow you want without the negatives that come with straight pipe exhaust. The MagnaFlow Ford PRO DPF Series utilizes it's weight-optimized, durable, corrosion resistant stainless steel design to enhance your truck with MagnaFlow’s signature sound and dyno-tested performance. Diameter mandrel bent main piping features a muffler delete and terminates in a Single Passenger Side Rear exit with 6in. Polished Welded-Single Wall-Angle Cut-Rolled Edge-Intercooled tips.

Two hours later, according to court records, Koszewnik warned people not to forward his email. I was one of the people who wasn’t burned by this engine, but then again I didn’t own it for long and it was detuned in a van. Other people may not be so happy with their experience. It may not be the engine for you if you want to beat the daylights out of the truck or want to put down 700 HP at the wheels without some extensive work.

Well, the best they got from a stock 7.3 was 275 HP and 525 lb-ft of torque, assuming a manual transmission. Spend your long weekend enjoying an elevated driving experience and less time under the hood installing. AFe POWER offers state-of-the-art, direct-fit intake systems with fewer parts, and no modifications or tunes needed to meet your driving needs. If you’re chasing more power, crave a deeper sound, want a sharper look—or all three—we’ve got you covered.

Like anything else, the best course of action regarding your equipment is up to you. Modifications of any kind to the newest of tractors or trucks will almost certainly void your warranty, which is one of the reasons to purchase new machinery in the first place. So for the sake of horsepower and turning the wife’s head (she acts like she doesn’t care – but I know better), the chrome stack stays.

Navistar’s continued changes by relocating the gear train to the rear of the engine and reinforcing for the bottom end. The crankshaft main and rod bearing surfaces were treated to an induction-hardening process and the crankshaft itself was held in place with a plate. The G2 fuel system uses high-pressure injectors developed jointly by International, Sturman Industries and Siemens Diesel Systems Technology to more efficiently manage fuel consumption. Higher injection pressure combined with four valves per cylinder increases performance and fuel economy while lowering emissions.

The key to the VT 365’s increased performance, despite tighter emission controls, rests on several components. First is the Electronic Variable Response Turbocharger (EVRT), which provides improved throttle response and peak torque capability at lower rpm levels. Second, it is equipped with Electro-Hydraulic Generation Two (G2) fuel injection technology, which is based on a low-pressure common rail fuel system. Finally, Intuitive Shift controllers allow for smoother driving to compensate for the use of cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology, which cuts oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. One key component to the 7.3-liter Power Stroke and the Navistar T444E is the HEUI system, which stands for Hydraulically Activated, Electronically Controlled Unit Injector.

A hundred dollars of earmuffs placed where they are handy are cheap in comparison to thousands of dollars of hearing aids on the kitchen table. The old tractor I used to run the mixer wagon had a straight-piped, naturally aspirated engine. Needless to say, it woke the neighbors if I drove it out on the road.

Downwind of the turbo on a 6.7L Power Stroke, the cold-side intercooler pipe—which routes boost from the engine’s air-to-water intercooler toward the heads—is well-known for failing. The factory piece is infamous for becoming brittle over time, often cracks under boost, and some of them even explode. It’s a common failure for both ’11-’16 engines and ’17-current versions (as well as in both modified and completely stock engines), and when it strikes you’ve got a giant boost leak.

The remedy to this problem is installing a coolant circuit filtration system, which should catch nasty particles before they plug the oil cooler. As I said before, there is a fix for this, and it’s tossing the factory head bolts in the trash and replacing them with stronger studs (above), hopefully putting blown gaskets in your rearview mirror. As I said earlier, the 7.3-liter Power Stroke is known for relative bulletproof reliability in stock form. Tuners have also found the engine to be receptive to taking on more power, too.

It’s a complicated computerized system that uses pressurized oil to fire the engine’s injectors. At the same time, International Harvester was looking to build a diesel engine for an automaker with a lineup of pickup trucks. General Motors was already married to Detroit Diesel, but Ford turned out to be a great marriage partner. Ford wanted power and International Harvester wanted to deliver. Navistar used to be known as International Harvester, and the company’s history is filled to the brim with machines built for work. International Harvester’s roots were in the 1800s with reapers, but the company helped change farming in only 1905 with its first tractor.

Vehicle fitment – 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, & 2021 Ford Powerstroke 6.7 Diesel. Regular can short and long bed along with Crew cab short & long bed. Will not fit cab & chassis trucks without modification. Will continue to purchase more products from here. Agree with everyone else on the couplers but for the price not that big of a deal.

Find the right products and services for your farm, ranch or operation. For me personally, my straight piping adventures were primarily on older tractors with turbocharged motors. In those cases, the turbo tends to serve as a bit of a muffler; at least I think it tones down the blare as compared to a naturally aspirated motor. Long periods of idling are engine killers with the DEF and ERG systems.They do need to be run hard. My Wife’s Escape was not quite 4 years old but was over 100k, so Ford told me I could pay for the $2500 complete system replacement or open a window.

Built from heavy duty aluminized steel MBRP Installer Series performance exhaust systems offer a value price without compromising on the quality built into every component. While the seams are a major point of rust through with some budget systems MBRP fully sealed tubing adds years to your system. Constructed to the same specifications as MBRP top of the line Pro Series they back this line with an industry leading 3 Year Warranty. Built from heavy duty aluminized steel our Installer Series performance exhaust systems offer a value price without compromising on the quality built into every component.

Modern muscle cars like Ford Mustangs, Chevy Camaros and Dodge Challengers and Chargers have sets of middle and rear resonators/mufflers. This arrangement is also common in sports cars both foreign and domestic. Award-winning coverage of in-depth news and analysis to make your business more profitable.

Most post-2007 diesel vehicles are fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) for emissions reasons, however there are a few disadvantages to this device; including constant maintenance and repairs. Most customers will see their parts within 3-5 business days. We will primarily ship with Purolator ground & DHL Express to ensure the fastest shipping possible. With a rocket nozzle-like tip, exhaust gasses are literally sucked out of the end of the exhaust, reducing back pressure all they back up to the turbo inlet. Trucks are probably the most common vehicles to be fully straight piped from front to back. For these cars, it’s common to delete one or more sets of resonators and replace them with straight pipe.

Better yet, it too is CARB-compliant and supports improved performance (thanks to a 25-percent increase in displacement over the CP4.2). This is the end-all, be-all solution for the problematic CP4.2. Just installed the pipe on m powerstroke and i'm blown away. The performance improvement is significant, with better throttle response and noticeable power gains.

Some searching of the web shows you can get newer 6.0-equipped trucks for a similar price to older 7.3s with more miles. Since we’re talking about oil, let’s look at the injectors. Oil pressurized as high as 3,600 PSI enters the injector through an electronically-actuated spool valve. The oil-actuated injector fires fuel into the cylinder at 26,000 PSI, 5,000 PSI better than the outgoing 7.3 engine. There are a lot of parts that can fail related to the injectors. You need low-pressure diesel fuel, a 48-volt, 20-amp coil to operate the spool valve, and high-pressure oil that hopefully isn’t blazing hot.

Installing our exhaust system typically takes about 1 hour with basic hand tools, and can be done on the ground of your driveway or garage. The process is quicker if you have access to an automotive-style lift. Standard shipping (INCLUDED) will take 6-8 business days. Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) are cleaned through regeneration in which scorching exhaust gas temperatures can last up to 20 minutes while driving.

I have a friend with a rather crusty F-350 with the 7.3 Navistar that he used to use to haul a horse trailer but now is the Saturday “go to Home Depot” truck. He says that almost weekly he is stopped by people offering him money on the spot for his truck. He’s had other Super Duties, but they were company trucks. This is his first one he’s bought himself, and he likes it a fair bit, even if it has been a bit problematic. All of this sounds scary, but for some people it’s worth it. In 2020, I owned a Ford E-350 van with a 6.0-liter Power Stroke.

Yet, my van, which was stock, still drove on its original head gaskets and even still had its emissions equipment intact. It got 18 mpg with me behind the wheel — good compared to my friend with a stock 7.3 Power Stroke that got 13 mpg on a good day. Sadly, the van was detuned compared to Super Duty trucks and made 235 HP and 440 lb-ft of torque. But it still made that glorious diesel soundtrack so I didn’t care one bit.

Sadly, the 6.0’s oil cooler is known for plugging up, which has a cascading effect of allowing the oil in all impacted components to reach dangerous levels. The resulting temps can kill expensive components and cause a catastrophic failure. DrivingLine notes that around 90 percent of 6.0 EGR cooler failures start with a plugged oil cooler.

If you like options, there are both factory and aftermarket solutions for the OEM ’11-’14 6.7L Power Stroke turbo. Going the factory route, you can install a ’15-’19 unit, the Garrett GT37, essentially using 100-percent OEM, second-generation engine parts (SPE Motorsport’s retrofit install kit is pictured here). The GT37 retains VGT functionality but sports a bigger turbine wheel and a larger, single compressor wheel. It sees lower shaft speeds and rarely overspeeds. The aftermarket path typically points toward the use of a fixed geometry turbo, and namely one of the many popular off-the-shelf BorgWarner S300 or S400’s.

Several loose rocker arms, loose pushrods, low pushrods(1 inch gap to rocker arms), several pushrods almost off their valves. When time permits(shop very busy this week)I am going to remove the VC. Have to do it with only a partial cab lift as per service manager. Bruno says it has zero physical compression, if the ex valves were stuck closed he'd still have compression. I'm thinking something more sinister, sounds like the rt VC is coming off for a look.

Formed from T304 Stainless Steel with a mirror-polished finish, this tip style features a single wall of steel perfect for a classic look with the functional benefit of being extremely durable. Paradox Performance Mufflers offer industry leading sound and flow, and are made in the USA. Deleting catalytic converters is also not uncommon, but is not something we recommend as it can negatively affect sound and performance.

Because the DPF clogs up, it increases backpressure. Due to this pressure, the fuel flow is hugely disturbed and slowed down. Therefore, when you remove this filter, the fuel flows much easier and faster, increasing the overall fuel mileage. Therefore, when you remove this filter, the fuel flows much easily and faster, increasing the overall fuel mileage.

A $30 part on a (at the time) $25k automobile, and Ford couldn’t be bothered. That was the 4th (and last) Ford our family purchased. I was a “casualty” of the desiccant cooling system issues present in the Escapes.

Designed to maximize exhaust flow and minimize exhaust temperatures your Truck will use less gas, last longer and perform better. Every system we sell has been built to the most exacting standards in the industry. If you don’t want to deal with the negatives that come with straight pipes and muffler deletes, you’ll need an alternative. Before we dive into it, let’s define exactly what straight pipes and muffler deletes are. As an old lawyer would say, “it depends.” Removing the muffler from a tractor reduces back pressure, which can result in substantial horsepower gains. The amount of your tractor’s individual power boost will depend on several factors, but the most important one is the amount of fuel and air already going through it to begin with.

Ford used what essentially was a cardboard “bag” attached to the receiver/dryer in the AC system. The cardboard would break down over time, and the desiccant would cycle through the AC system and corrode it from the inside out. We just replaced the turbo earlier this year after its impeller decided to emulate a grenade. We were able to replace it without lifting the cab.

Tuner Required – Removal of the DPF, CAT, SCR, and/or DOC involves removing and eliminating emission related sensors. A DPF delete capable tuner is required to prevent any check engine light or diagnostic trouble codes from setting. If you don’t already have a DPF delete capable tuner we recommend the Ez lynk here. Fuel Mileage – Expect to see a significant increase in fuel mileage. If your DPF is plugged up your probably averaging about mpg.

If the cracks are serious enough, fuel can leak into the lifter valley, where—thanks to the 6.7L engine’s reverse cylinder head design—the steamy-hot exhaust manifolds are located. That’s right, the factory fuel filter assembly is a potential fire hazard. The ultimate fix is an improved, aftermarket filter cap, such as the anodized billet-aluminum piece from Fleece Performance Engineering shown here. The company’s all-inclusive fuel filter fix includes the aforementioned cap, quick-disconnect fittings and a pair of high-quality Donaldson spin-on fuel filters.

By the early 2000s, diesel engines were ramping up in power, leaving the old reliable Navistar engine in the dust. GM truck buyers got to enjoy 300 HP and 520 lb-ft of torque from a 6.6-liter Duramax LB7 V8. Meanwhile, Ram buyers got a 5.9-liter Cummins straight-six with 305 HP and 555 lb-ft of torque.

If you’re thinking about changing the exhaust on your vehicle, you may have considered straight pipe exhaust or a muffler delete. In this article, we weigh the pros and cons of muffler deletes and straight pipes against aftermarket performance mufflers. In the early 1980s, right around when the International Harvester name departed from light-duty on-road vehicles, Ford embarked on a journey for a new kind of diesel truck. The diesels of the era were not like the powerful trucks of today, but engines that got better fuel economy than their gasoline counterparts. In at least one case, going diesel even meant giving up on power. The Blue Oval believed it was possible for diesel engines to evolve from thrifty powerplants to ones that delivered a kind of capability, durability, and power never seen before.

This emissions-legal filter-back exhaust kit has been tuned to create Mild interior and Moderate exterior sound levels. Getting the 4-inch straight pipe 6.7 Powerstroke is the best decision you can make. This upgrade will allow the Ford to have even more power and a louder rumble, so your vehicle will be much better than before. This turbo delete upgrade ensures a significant boost in horsepower, making it a perfect choice for those seeking maximum power from their Ford trucks. Muffler deletes and straight pipe exhaust can provide a lot of loudness, but honestly not much else. Rough sound and potential legal issues easily outweigh the fact that straight pipes are by default the cheapest exhaust option.

I received my upper control arms yesterday and couldn’t be more impressed with them. I only bought them because of the great price and wasn’t expecting much, but when I opened them up and saw the size, quality and construction of them it blew me away. Amazing product and would highly recommend them to everyone looking to upgrade their upper control arms. Everything went well during install, works as it should. You will need some new hardware but other than that it is good quality and got all that dpf crap off my truck.

We also carry several Diesel Exhausts replacement parts, accessories and components. One advantage of straight pipes is that they have very little backpressure. Straight pipes offer better flow than many popular performance mufflers. This can be helpful if you’re trying to maximize performance and fuel mileage.

These conventional style turbochargers are rock-solid reliable and, like the GT37, can support considerably more horsepower than the restrictive factory VGT on ’11-’14 engines. Years ago, 6.7L Power Stroke owners had no alternative to the CP4.2 high-pressure fuel pump. Today, S&S Diesel Motorsport’s CP4 to DCR pump conversion offers them ultimate peace of mind. Co-developed with PurePower Technologies (the aftermarket division of Stanadyne), the company’s system replaces the problematic Bosch CP4.2 with a DCR high-pressure fuel pump.

Operating it under any circumstances required earmuffs … and good earmuffs at that. Think about the heavily modified trucks and tractors you see at pulling events. The amount of pressure they “exhaust” is extraordinary – way more than a normal farm tractor or pickup would create. A muffler on those beasts would end up heading for the sky (or scarier – the spectators).

Unfortunately, the cylinder pressure under the head is a lot, and has been found to stretch the stock bolts, leading to an eventual blown head gasket. Reportedly, this happens most often with modified engines, but has happened with stock engines as well. It put Ford back into the diesel truck power wars, and its EGR system satisfied emissions regulations. The variable geometry turbo was also great, allowing for hard power early on and throughout the powerband. Unfortunately, problems started getting reported in 2003 while these engines were still new. International Harvester was even one of the first American companies to put a diesel engine in a light-duty pickup truck.

Starting with the worst, we begin with the 6.7L Power Stroke’s CP4.2 high-pressure fuel pump. The twin-piston Bosch pump, which is responsible for pressurizing fuel as high as 30,000 psi, is notorious for self-destructing. And when it comes apart, metal debris flows out to the fuel rails, and is often sent through the engine’s expensive piezoelectric injectors. Worse yet, the fuel system’s return circuit is also contaminated, with the fuel tank, fuel supply (and return) lines and even the lift pump requiring replacement and/or cleaning. It’s a failure that, while it may only occur on 1-percent of all engines, costs upward of $10,000 to fix. Since replacing 6.7 powerstroke straight pipe Stroke, and the problematic 6.0L Power Stroke before that, Ford’s 6.7L Power Stroke has been a significant force in the world of diesel trucks.

The new engine had to comply with stricter emissions, but it still made more power out of the factory than its predecessor. Unfortunately, the 6.0 Power Stroke would encounter a long list of issues and give tuners even larger headaches. The 6.0 carries such a reputation today that it’s sometimes called the “6.Blow” and you can sometimes find newer trucks with the 6.0 selling for cheaper than an older truck with a 7.3. Established in 2019, SPELAB is a direct manufacturer of automotive performance parts, including intake, exhaust, engine, and cooling systems, as well as interior and exterior parts.

If you’re loyal to the Blue Oval, the Navistar/Ford 7.3-liter Power Stroke is a legendary engine. It’s been over two decades since the last 7.3 was built, yet enthusiasts continue to pay tens of thousands to own an example of one of greatest diesel engines of all time. Sure, a stock 7.3-liter doesn’t make a ton of power compared to today’s trucks, but these are engines that can last longer than the metal bodies in which they’re packaged.

The ball bearing center section simply can’t endure the stress. From the vehicle specific Muffler design to the fully mandrel bent tubing to minimal bend degree angles, your MBRP performance system gets exhaust out fast. An MBRP performance exhaust system is the starting point to getting the most from cold air intakes, programmers, modules and downloaders. We proudly carry Flo~Pro because they only use Torca lapjoint style clamps in all their kits whereas most everyone else uses hanger clamps that squish the pipe. Not to mention the contour bent hangers mean 6” to 7” of weld on the hangers versus most exhaust system companies 1”.

These up pipes fit perfectly, no trouble at all and look awesome. This kit works perfectly for these trucks, not too loud but also still has a good grumble. The center clamp it comes with is junk; but I switch them for stainless preformed clamps anyways. Dirty Diesel Customs is a full-service performance diesel shop based in Kelowna, B.C. Canada. We do everything from Race Engines to OEM Maintenance.

Of torque, this TAKEDA Momentum intake delivers an aggressive air intake sound for your Toyota GR Corolla and GR Yaris! With an add-on Dynamic Air Scoop, make your GR Corolla inhale even more air flow. Our engineers use state of the art technology to design and manufacture the highest quality performance products in the industry. Service manager wanted to avoid having truck in 2 pieces as customer stated he was going to put a Cummins in it if it needed a motor.

That was a couple more thousand, I don’t even remember, but by the time I finished with that I was ready to be done with the truck. I was starting to measure my weekly operating costs by the maintenance bills instead of the fuel bills. I wish I would have bought a slightly older truck with the 7.3. Next, we have the fuel injection control module (FICM), the computer responsible for opening and closing the spool valves and thus, getting fuel to the cylinders. This module is the one sending 48-volt pulses to the coils and while its lower than the 100 to 120 volts utilized by the 7.3, any low-voltage problems with the truck could cause running issues.

Crafted from 16 gauge heavy-duty aluminized steel, Armor Lite has the same fitment and performance as T304 and T409 products. I have owned several fine old tractors over the years – and over the tenure of my ownership, several of them have found themselves with straight pipes. Just yards from where I write this, I have two tractors sitting in the shed that are fitted with straight pipes instead of mufflers. I also have a few more “shed mates” (tractors are like potato chips … one just won’t satisfy) I wouldn’t operate without a muffler.

With a focus on quality, performance, and service, we export over 3 million USD annually to customers across North America, South America, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. We maintain warehouses in Kentucky, California, and New Jersey for prompt delivery. Despite not being the largest, we prioritize customer satisfaction, always ready to address any issues with effective communication and solutions. As you can imagine, it definitely pays to address the factory cold-side intercooler pipe before it fails, and the diesel aftermarket is loaded with replacement options. Another kit, offered by H&S Motorsports, uses a stainless-reinforced, multi-ply silicone hose as a direct replacement—a piece that’s rated for high heat and triple-digit boost. Some aftermarket cold-side intercooler pipe replacement systems also feature an adapter assembly for the factory throttle body.

Powdered-metal connecting rods also made a return in the 6.0. These rods were panned during their short life in the 7.3, but they found a good home in the 6.0 engine. As DrivingLine explains, the 7.3’s engine revved low and submitted a lot of torque to the rods.

Not only has it been ultra-reliable (helping to revive the Power Stroke brand), but it’s also offered class-leading power figures for much of its production run. However, that doesn’t mean Ford’s V8 diesel is bulletproof. Only thing it needs is better installation instructions. I would highly recommend and will purchase from again in the future.

Our customer service team is made up of enthusiasts, just like you. We're here to help on any questions you may have. The four or five inch debate can come down to two important parts; 1) Do you want the lowest EGTs possible? Do you want a deeper/throater/meaner sounding truck? If yes to either of those two options, then a five inch exhaust is what you’ll want. We offer fast and reliable shipping options to ensure that you receive your products as soon as possible.

Loudness can be a pro or a con depending on your taste and application. Sometimes you just need or want exhaust that is loud. Straight pipes can usually deliver loudness, but at the price of good sound quality. This information was taken from an affidavit by one of Ford’s own officials in a lawsuit it filed against Navistar. Despite this testimony, Ford later denied engine problems when it was being sued over the Navistar engine. One email presented during trial was dated five months before Margeson purchased his truck.

The powertrain control module commands an injection event and the injector driver module triggers the injector solenoids. When this happens, the solenoid pulls an internal poppet valve off of its seat, allowing high-pressure oil into the injector. That oil comes courtesy of a high-pressure oil circuit charged by the high-pressure oil pump. The HPOP sends high-pressure oil into the injectors, which forces a piston in the injector down, lifting a nozzle. The nozzle then opens and 3,000 psi of fuel pressure multiplies to 21,000 psi of fuel pressure in the cylinder. In theory, the 6.0 had the right ingredients to rise to stardom.

The kit fits every 6.7L Power Stroke produced to date, from ’11-’24. The choice of 4 inches and 5 inches is determined by customer needs. The price of 5 inches is higher, and the displacement and performance will be greatly improved.With or without Muffler?

There was also a brief moment between 2001 and 2003 when powdered metal con-rods were used. All of this happens with computer and electronic control, allowing for the control of injection events independent of what the crankshaft is doing. HEUI is able to provide peak pressures under a variety of conditions, helping to keep power up, fuel consumption down, and emissions down as well.

Well, it was the tractor we used to harvest corn grain via a mounted picker. It was oversized for that job by most standards, but it did such a great job. Running a straight pipe got rid of excess heat, which helped with the fear of catching anything on fire in the dry fodder and chaff blowing about.

Paradox goes above and beyond other performance mufflers because of their Patented Tuning Fork Technology. It’s why they have such high quality sound and highly effective “drone” control. If you are purposely trying to annoy your neighbors and everyone around you, then straight pipes could be for you. The problem is, straight pipes are usually obnoxious in their loudness.

Like all modern turbocharged diesels, the 6.7L Power Stroke is heavily reliant on boost pressure. When the cold-side intercooler pipe blows, your ’11-present Super Duty is all but dead in the water. Built to PerformMBRP's performance exhaust systems are built to perform.

More or less depending on the severity of the restriction. After deleting the DPF/CAT expect to get a combined mileage of mpg. Larger tires and poor driving habits will skew mileage downward.

Walker is your one-stop exhaust shop, offering a full line of mufflers, pipes, hardware and accessories.

Before CP4.2 pump failure took over as the 6.7L Power Stroke’s Achilles Heel, turbo death was arguably more common. On first-generation engines, the Garrett GT32 SST became infamous for overspeed failure. And even though it’s graced with an electronic wastegate, it isn’t enough to bleed off all the drive pressure created at those turbine speeds.

The package includes clamps, hangers, and hardware, although you may need to reuse some factory hardware. Exhaust Material – Available in aluminized steel or T-409 stainless steel. Aluminized steel is our most popular but will eventually accumulate surface rust.

Diesel truck fans have a list of engines often considered to be the greatest of all time. Fans of Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge all have their faves, and that’s not even getting into the mills from outside of America. If it's popping through the intake, that leads me to believe the exhaust valves are not opening up on that cylinder.

If you are planning on driving on the street you’re going to want a muffler to keep the noise down or to not upset any local/state laws. Yes, this product is compatible with a wide range of diesel engines. Please refer to the product specifications for more details.

Any vehicle can have its muffler deleted- if it has one. Straight pipes can refer to muffler deletes, but they can also refer to removing everything in the exhaust system that isn’t pipe. This includes resonators and catalytic converters. Then one day I ran it down to almost E, truck never died, but a few days later I needed 6 injectors. It turns out the injectors are lubricated by the fuel… to the point that running it low, was enough to trash them. No one really explained what happened, so a few months later the same thing happened.

We gambled on a remanufactured unit from a Chinese supplier, but it appears to be a legit Garrett unit and has held up so far. My brother has a 2005 F-450 Lariat FX4 6.0L that I found for him (admittedly I didn’t know the mileage on it when I me tioned it to him).

You'll probably still have to have the VC off to verify the valves are closed...... A damaged or stuck ipn intake will cause low compression and popping from the intake BUT exhaust valves not opening will cause a more severe pop noise from my experience. All items will be shipped out in 1 business day,no expedited service available.We ship our items to USA only(Does NOT include Hawaii，Alaska or Puerto Rico, PO Boxes/APO's ). Single exhaust has been the most popular choice for the last decade or so. Dual exhaust was big in the 90s but maybe it’s time for a comeback.

Some owners replace the variable geometry turbo with a fixed geometry turbo, conduct more frequent flushing of the oil cooling system, and clean the EGR system. There are a number of issues that plagued the 6.0 engine during parts of its life. Thankfully, time heals a lot of wounds, and there are now solutions to the engine’s infamous issues.

This one is purely up to preference and what you like. The only deciding factor for some in the dual vs single exhaust debacle is a dual exhaust system can be a little more costly. I put this together for a customer, for the millionth time, on which exhaust system is right for a 6.7 Powerstroke. I realized; why don’t I make a blog post that explains which is the best exhaust for a 6.7 Powerstroke? Then I can point all my customers to that instead of repeating myself.
