The BD Diesel Up-Pipe & Manifold Kit is a robust solution for owners of 2008-2010 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks equipped with the 6.4L Power Stroke diesel engine. It's a proactive measure to address the well-known vulnerabilities of the factory exhaust system.
Over time, the original equipment up-pipes on these trucks often succumb to the rigors of age and extreme temperature fluctuations. This can lead to exhaust leaks, a noticeable decrease in turbocharger responsiveness, increased exhaust noise, and the unwelcome buildup of soot.
This BD Diesel kit serves as a reliable replacement for problematic factory components and is also an ideal upgrade to consider when undertaking other engine or transmission repairs, or when replacing the turbocharger or manifolds. It's engineered for dependability, enhanced performance, and lasting peace of mind.
Key Features:
- Enhanced Durability: The up-pipes are constructed from larger diameter, mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel, ensuring improved flow and longevity.
- Internally Shielded Bellows: The inclusion of internally shielded expansion bellows in the up-pipes provides added resilience against failure caused by thermal stress.
- Optimized Exhaust Flow: The ports on both the up-pipes and manifolds are meticulously gasket-matched to maximize the efficiency of exhaust gas expulsion.
- Heavy-Duty Manifolds: The exhaust manifold set is made from a thick-walled (0.25") Hi-Silicon ductile casting, specifically chosen for its resistance to cracking under high exhaust temperatures.
- Protective Finish: A high-temperature black paint coating is applied for added protection against the elements.
- Ready for Monitoring: The manifolds come pre-drilled to accommodate pyrometer probes and pressure gauges, allowing for precise monitoring of exhaust system conditions.
- Complete Installation Kit: This kit includes all necessary gaskets (pipe to exhaust manifold, EGR, turbocharger pipe, and cylinder head to exhaust manifold) as well as 6 exhaust studs for secure installation to the up-pipe flange.
- Emissions Compliant: Fully compatible with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, ensuring adherence to emission standards.
