Which trucks does the Charge Pipe for Ford 6.0L Super Duty models fit?

HPS lists part 17-172 for the 2003-2007 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty with the 6.0L Power Stroke turbo diesel. Trims named by HPS include XL, XLT and Lariat across the range, with King Ranch and Harley-Davidson Edition on the F-250 and F-350 pickups.

Did every 6.0L truck come with a plastic cold side pipe?

No. HPS says the weak, brittle plastic cold side pipe came on some of these 6.0L trucks. On those trucks the aluminum pipe replaces a part that can crack; on the rest it still brings lighter 6061 aluminum and oil-resistant 4-ply boots in place of the stock pieces.

How does the truck benefit from the T-bolt clamps?

HPS uses industrial-grade stainless steel spring-loaded T-bolt clamps that hold constant tension as the boots heat and cool, removing the need for maintenance in changing temperatures. The Charge Pipe for Ford 6.0L trucks ships with its clamps, and HPS designed them to resist corrosion.

Will the pipe change engine performance?

Yes, modestly. HPS says the smoother path through the mandrel-bent aluminum improves air flow, throttle response and acceleration. HPS does not publish dyno figures for this pipe and states that it needs no retuning, so the main gain on a stock truck is reliability.

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the 6061 aluminum cold side pipe, orange 4-ply aramid-reinforced silicone boots, stainless steel spring-loaded T-bolt clamps and digital installation instructions. Buyers who prefer black boots can choose HPS part 17-174, which is the same pipe with black boots.

Description

HPS Cold Side Charge Pipe for Ford F-250 to F-550 Super Duty 6.0L (Orange Boots)

HPS’s Cold Side Charge Pipe for Ford F-250 to F-550 Super Duty 6.0L (Orange Boots), part 17-172, gives a 2003-2007 Power Stroke truck a 3 inch mandrel-bent aluminum cold side pipe in place of the plastic one HPS calls weak and brittle. Its orange boots are 4-ply aramid-reinforced silicone made to resist the oil a 6.0L moves through its turbo, held by spring-loaded stainless T-bolt clamps. Owners who want the repair to stand out under the hood will like the color.

Design and Performance

This pipe deals with two failures at once. The aluminum removes a plastic part that can crack, and HPS says the smoother path improves throttle response and acceleration. The boots address the slower problem: stock boots reinforced with two polyester layers go soft from oil and eventually tear. It brings no headline power number, and HPS states no retune is needed, so it can go on a stock truck without other changes.

Features

6061 aluminum cold side pipe, mandrel bent for a smoother airflow path
Roughly half the weight of the factory part, per HPS
Orange aramid-reinforced silicone boots rated for high temperature, high pressure and oil
Spring-loaded stainless T-bolt clamps that need no adjustment as temperatures change, according to HPS
Polished, black or red pipe finish

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
