Upgrades and Aftermarket - 6.0L EngineUpgrading and adding aftermarket equipment to your 2003-Up Super Duty or Excursion with 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engine. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.0L Power Stroke engine.
A lot of us have. It should drop your EGT's 150+F, and bump your power 30-40HP. Regarding warranty, if installed right, it should not affect your warranty, however, keep in mind that anything related to inlet air could be hung on that puppy. If you have a dealer who is a pain in the a$$, just keep the stock one in the closet, and if something goes wrong, just reinstall it before bringing the truck to your dealer.

I disagree, most dealers that are not intimate friends or fishing buddies will deny an engine warranty that has a mod advertising that much power increase. I don't like it anymore than the next guy but rumor has it Ford is trying to trim the fat. Additionally, I wish I had one.

They went to the extreme when they designed it, They wanted to get as much additional surface area as possible and to do it they tapered the front of it to allow MAX Surface area and still fit it under the hood...
I thought long & hard about purchasing one, and only decided to get the BANKS Techni-Cooler because the Hypermax was half again as much as the BANKS unit!
Hypermax' price on their website was close to $1500.00 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]
BANKS sold for $1032.00 just before 12-31-05...
I'll have my BANKS installed along with a EDGE Plattinum and A2 monitor in a few weeks.
You can also read about the install of the Hypermax Charge Air Cooler in the current issue of PowerStroke Registry.

I hope your boots stay on better than the Banks unit. We are resorting to gluing and double clamping along with rerouting the CCV. I'm blowin boots off at 30+ psi......I don't want to think about what will happen at 60-70 psi when the twin turbo goes on.
