Fully "Bulletproofing" Our 6.0L Ford F350 Powerstroke (Stage 3 Install)

[@pokedave2948]

I did a K&N cold air intake, & straight piped my old 2003, with 5" pipe, and a big ole fat tip. It sounded like a jet engine on steroids. I also did a custom billet grille, & all new after market lights. Unfortunately, I traded it in, to get my mom a decent new car, to go back and forth to the cancer doctor, before she passed away. I miss my old truck, but mom way more. Love the channel, keep up the good work!

Yeah 4 inch turbo back 5inch has little performance over the 4 inch and 6.0s sound the best with 4inch

[@edwuncleriii2286]

xv70 1 leaving it stock ( mufflers and cats ) keeps the existing exhaust flow obstructions there, causing slightly higher egts. When you straight pipe a 6.0, it lets the engine breathe better, it can get those hot exhaust gasses out better. It’s simple logic

I straight piped my 03' for a short time. It was just too much noise for me while towing long trips. I put a series 50 Flowmaster on it. It is perfect for the classic 6.0 Powerstroke sounds with a whistle spool down sound just like jet engines sound like. It makes people ask what the hell is under the hood of the truck. It still has a little cruse speeds noise. But not a dronish tone.

[@rgs4x]

Mt friend just learned a hard lesson after bulletproofing his 04. He had to shave his heads because the engine got overheated. 30,000 miles later the camshaft failed. The reason> He forgot to account for the shaved heads and his push rods were the stock length causing premature camshaft wear.

[@gannonfamily2000]

Exultant Vid on full 6.0 fix. Only problem is that the more people wake up to the 6.0 reliability their price goes up. A full fix like this has put the value way up for your King Ranch. I had my 2003 6.0 fully BPD parts fixed years ago and I have had zero problems with towing my 16,000 Lbs 5th wheel for over 60,000 miles since the fix. My rig is at 180,000 miles. My next insurance for the 6.0 will be a Certec Liquid Moly oil treatment for the pistons, cam, rockers and crank surfaces. I went with a 4" turbo back straight pipe but installed the 50 series Flow Mater because on long trips it was too loud for conversations and peace of mind. I am an older fart though and if I was younger never would have heard much because of the AC/DC music full throttled. 7.3 Guys will still whine about it but that 6.0 is a much bigger beast and mods for it are staggering for huge power.

[@dannyjoel7612]

4 inch turbo back with a muffler. you can always take the muffler off if you want it to be louder. but with my experience towing with a straight piped truck it gets to be a little much on long trips. if you get on it the truck will still be loud. it just wont have a bad drone to it while running 80mph on the highway

[@trevor_barkley5626]

4 inch straight pipe exhaust. You don’t need a new down pipe, just straight 4 inch from the down pipe back. Deleting the cat and muffler will make a huge difference in performance. To go along with the exhaust, find a good tuning company that has a good reputation with 6.0’s, that will give you a huge difference in power, along with gaining much better fuel mileage on the highway.

[@NaturalFondi]

Honestly I work for Ford I own a 7.3, but the 6.0 you would need studs, o dawg, kc stage 3 turbo, 4inch down pipe to 5inch back, 1023 tunes honestly the best thing for these trucks

[@BOBCAT2001ify]

If your going to do a exhaust, straight pipe it, I recommend doing a 5 inch exhaust from the down pipe back. You won’t regret it, the 6.0 is the best sound Diesel out there. I Have a 5 inch on my 2015 6.7 and couldn’t be happier, adds a bit more of a Rumble compared to a 4 inch. My buddy has a 04 6.0 with a 4 inch and it can be a little over whelming in the cab, while I have another friend with an 05 crew cab with a 5 inch all the way back and the cab noise is significantly less and not as overwhelming, all while sounding great outside.

[@JRGarage]

Thank you for that thorough insight. We are making a decision soon👍

[@waimeagavin808]

Renzo Puopolo don’t you mean turbo back exhaust?

[@BOBCAT2001ify]

waimeagavin808 No, from the down pipe back, my truck is a 5” from the down pipe back, it jumps from 3.5” to a 5”. Atleast that’s with the 6.7 exhaust set ups, no need to do a down pipe. In theory you could call it a turbo back exhaust, can jump the down pipe up to 4” if you want.

Hi guys I am new in here quick question how much do you spend on your 6.0 turbo diesel?

[@warrior641000]

If you really want the turbo to scream get the no limit fabrication 5 inch intake. And then a 5 inch exhaust. You can always put a muffler on the exhaust if it's too loud

[@frankbob4043]

Ramdom technologies makes some great aftermarket cats and mufflers that flow and sound really good. Also watch your shut off times with your newly reconditioned diesel engine. You need to wait at least 5 minutes to cool your engine and turbo down before shutting the engine down, otherwise all those nice fixes you just invested your hard earned cash will be down the trash bucket when you cook your turbo bearings from not properly cooling your engine down before shutting it off. Get an aftermarket turbo timer. It'll lock your truck up for you and keep the engine running until it reaches a cold enough temprature to shut the engine off if you're on the run, otherwise good investment and hope you enjoy it very much.
