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.
I'm real close to pushing the left click button on one of these. I tow a toyhauler and am looking to keep my EGT's in check. From what I've read, by changing to an aftermarket intercooler people have reported dropping 100-150 degrees. I have a friend that has blown the sides off two OEM intercoolers towing a fifthwheel. I don't want to be stuck on the side of the road as he has and would like to drop the EGT's down a little.
My question to those that have changed to a Spearco (Banks or other), are you happy with the upgrade? Was it worth the money spent?
I've had a Banks and now a big DIIC....money well spent.

I've never heard of anyone regretting anything from spearco. Good company. Get ahold of Bbunting. He can't drive a golf cart, but he has good stuff. Look into the spearco or the DIIC, but I wouldn't go Banks.

DALPilot I have already emailed Brian numerous times with many questions and he has been very helpful. I pretty much have my mind made up, just hard to pull the trigger on a big ticket item like that. I went for the Fluidampr and I'm still on the fence on whether it was worth it for me. This is just a weekend vehicle for me, sits all week.
SGTCOOPER That's nice to hear a drop in EGT's towing, that's what I'm looking for. The studs were put in when gaskets were done just after blowing coolant going to Glamis over Thanksgiving. The work was done by a dealer near me in Irvine, Tuttle Click. PM me and I'll feel you in on who to speak with.
Yes they are a beautiful piece, I'm trying to figure out the color of the one IC tube that is included so I can get my "hot" side powdercoated the same. I might just get them both done in a ceramic finish. And the new elbow too! I hate polishing stuff. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
