Which Super Duty trucks take the Charge Pipes for Ford 6.0L kit?

HPS lists part 17-105 for 2003-2007 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty pickups with the 6.0L Power Stroke turbo diesel. The kit suits both the early steel-piped trucks and the 2005-2007 trucks with the plastic cold side pipe, according to HPS.

What does the brace on the hot side pipe do?

HPS says the factory hot side pipe sits freely in the engine compartment with only its boots holding it, which stresses the boots until they fail. The HPS brace securely mounts the aluminum hot side pipe, and the lighter 6061 tube cuts the weight on the boots by about 50 percent.

Are the orange boots stronger than the factory boots?

Yes. HPS replaced the 2 polyester layers in the stock boots with 4 layers of aramid fiber and added a fluoroelastomer liner to resist the oil a 6.0L passes through its turbo. That raises the maximum operating temperature to 500F, and the orange color is purely a styling choice.

What clamps come with the kit?

The Charge Pipes for Ford 6.0L trucks come with stainless steel spring-loaded T-bolt clamps for every connecting point. HPS uses 300 series stainless for the housing and band and zinc-plated steel for the bolt, nut and spring, for corrosion resistance and clamps that can be reused.

What does installation involve?

HPS includes a step-by-step manual with clear pictures and states that no modification is required. Both pipes are modeled on the OEM parts, so they go into the factory locations with the new boots and clamps, and the supplied brace mounts the hot side pipe.

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

HPS’s Hot and Cold Side Charge Pipes for Ford F-250 to F-550 Super Duty 6.0L (Orange Boots), part 17-105, rebuild the charge pipe path on a 2003-2007 Power Stroke truck in one go. The hot side pipe is 6061 aluminum with a custom brace, so the boots no longer carry it; the cold side pipe is mandrel bent from the same alloy to replace the plastic part used from the 2005 refresh. Orange fluoro-lined aramid boots make the work easy to spot under the hood.

Design and Performance

This is the most complete of the HPS 6.0L charge pipe options and the one to buy when both factory pipes are original or suspect. HPS rates the boots to 500F and builds them with four aramid layers where the stock boots use two of polyester, which HPS says allows higher operating pressures. Owners who need only one side fixed, or whose 2003-2004 truck still has sound steel pipes, can choose a single HPS pipe instead.

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.
