Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1043917 Up-Pipes Kit with EGR Connector is engineered to replace the factory exhaust up-pipes on Ford 2003–2004.5 6.0L Power Stroke engines — a common source of exhaust leaks due to deterioration and cracking. Designed with durability, performance, and EGR compatibility in mind, these up-pipes help eliminate leaks while restoring smooth exhaust flow and turbo response.
This premium kit includes high-silicon ductile iron Y-adapter and larger diameter 304 stainless steel up-pipes with internally shielded expansion bellows, plus heavy-duty stainless clamps and V-band connections for ease of installation and a secure, leak-free fit. The design optimizes turbo spool response and exhaust gas flow away from the engine, helping maintain exhaust system integrity and performance over time.

FAQ
Why replace the factory up-pipes?
Factory up-pipes on 6.0L Power Stroke engines are prone to cracking and exhaust leaks as they age, leading to loss of turbo efficiency, soot buildup, and poor exhaust sealing. Replacing with BD Diesel up-pipes restores a leak-free exhaust path and improved durability.
What’s special about BD Diesel up-pipes?
These up-pipes use a combination of high-silicon ductile iron Y-adapter and stainless steel tubing with expansion bellows that reduce stress and resist cracking — especially under high heat and exhaust pressure.
Is installation difficult?
Installation typically takes a few hours and requires basic hand tools. Some vehicles may require the removal of OEM heat shielding for proper fitment.
