Do the Charge Pipes for Ford 6.0L trucks fit both early and late Super Duty models?

Yes. HPS lists this kit for 2003-2007 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty pickups with the 6.0L Power Stroke. On 2005-2007 trucks it replaces the plastic cold side pipe; on earlier trucks with steel pipes, HPS offers it as a lighter upgrade.

Why replace both pipes at once?

HPS found weak links on both sides of the 6.0L charge air system. The steel hot side pipe hangs on its boots and causes boost leaks, while the plastic cold side pipe on later trucks can crack. Replacing both, with new boots and clamps, deals with each weak point HPS identified.

Will the boots hold up to oil from the turbo?

Yes. HPS says the 6.0L breathes a lot of oil through the turbo, which softens the stock boots. The HPS boots add a fluoroelastomer liner and use 4 layers of aramid fiber instead of 2 layers of polyester, raising the maximum operating temperature to 500F and allowing higher pressures.

Can the kit be used with an aftermarket intake or intercooler?

Yes. HPS designed and modeled the Charge Pipes for Ford 6.0L trucks on the OEM parts, and states that the kit works with direct bolt-on intake kits and direct-fit upgraded intercoolers. Setups that move the factory pipe locations fall outside that statement.

Does the installation require modifications?

No. HPS states that no modification is required and includes a step-by-step installation manual with clear pictures to guide the installer. The kit swaps the factory hot and cold side pipes, boots and clamps for the HPS parts, with the brace securing the new hot side pipe.

HPS Hot and Cold Side Charge Pipes for Ford F-250 to F-550 Super Duty 6.0L (Black Boots)

HPS’s Hot and Cold Side Charge Pipes for Ford F-250 to F-550 Super Duty 6.0L (Black Boots) replace the whole charge pipe set on a 2003-2007 Power Stroke truck: the steel hot side pipe that HPS calls a major cause of boost leaks on every 6.0L year, and the cold side pipe that turned to injection-molded plastic with the 2005 refresh. HPS built the kit after taking apart two of these trucks, and pairs braced 6061 aluminum with black fluoro-lined boots rated to 500F.

Design and Performance

Doing both sides at once makes sense on the 6.0L because the weak points sit at each end of the intercooler: a hot side pipe hanging on its boots and, on 2005-2007 trucks, a plastic cold side pipe that can crack. HPS braces the hot side and lines the boots with fluoroelastomer so turbo oil does not soften them. On a 2003-2004 truck with steel pipes, the cold side change is mostly about weight and looks.

Features

Braced 6061 aluminum hot side pipe in place of the factory steel pipe
Mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum cold side pipe modeled on the OEM part
4-ply aramid-reinforced silicone boots with a fluoroelastomer liner, rated to 500F
300 series stainless spring-loaded T-bolt clamps with zinc-plated bolts, nuts and springs
Works with direct bolt-on intake kits and direct-fit upgraded intercoolers, 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.
