Up pipe leak - Diesel Forum

keith_1963 · 02-08-2010, 10:53 AM

I have leaking up pipes, soot, exhaust smell incab, loss of power, loss of MPG etc.. all the symptoms.

I know the best thing to do is either the International up pipes or the braided ones, but I am selling the truck and just want to fix it without pouring money into it.

Can I just get the brass rings from Beans and use my old pipes? Get new bolts etc...?

Try Beans Brass ones..about $90 pair.

Hi CaryT,

Do you have a link for those uppies?

Beans Diesel Performance - 94-03 Power Stroke Brass Up pipe Donut gaskets (Powered by CubeCart)

I bought the "Chevy" donuts already but they look identical to Beans except the arent brass. Anyone have insight??

Thanks TXANGLER,

No wonder I couldn't find them. I was looking for brass up pipes on Bean's site. Not the gaskets.

This might be a dumb question, but are the up pipes part of an exhaust upgrade? I have wanted to put a 4" exhaust on the truck, would the new system include up pipes?

As my boss used to say, only dumb question is the one you didn't ask but should have asked.

NO. Some systems include a DOWN pipe but not the UP pipe. Down pipe is included if you buy a turbo back system.

The up pipes go from the manifolds to the turbo, the exhaust goes through the turbo and out the down pipe.

Can those Beans brass ones be slipped in without removing the turbo ?
