Exhaust Up-Pipe for Ford 2008-2010 6.4L Powerstroke Diesel Heavy Duty | SPELAB

Up-pipes and down-pipes – what do they do?

Up-pipe is a piping that connects the exhaust manifold with the turbo. Exhaust gases enter the turbo from the up-pipe. Down-pipe is a piping that connects the turbo with the rest of the exhaust pipe. Exhaust gases leave the turbo from the down-pipe. 

Key Features

• Eliminates Leaks - Deletes failure-prone OEM flex joint for a permanent seal.
• Faster Turbo Spool - Improves exhaust flow to reduce lag and increase throttle response.
• Durable Stainless - Mandrel-bent construction resists heat and corrosion.
  

Note: If your engine uses "Factory 6.4 Powerstroke", this product is suitable. If your engine uses "Factory 6.0 Powerstroke", then this product is not suitable.
