2003 6.0L Exhaust Headers & Up Pipes
My 2003 F-550 with a 6.0L needs new exhaust headers & up pipes, what company should I buy? I would like something that would last longer then the stock OEM pipes. Also since I'm doing this what else should I do while I'm in there ?
I'm thinking an EGR delete and do I need to worry about the oil cooler ?
Thanks
Happy New Year

You might want to consider just having a local exhaust shop do up a custom exhaust using high quality stainless steel piping.
There are a lot of options for headers for the 6.0 too.
I'd like to get someone to pull me a couple bends of high quality stainless for my up pipes/collector on my truck. Ford did a wonderful job of using stainless steel piping after the collector tubes. Which there is minimal corrosion on. But everything above that looks rustier than rusty, all the way to the cat and headers. Not too worried about the headers or cat, but that collector pipe before the muffler looks scary.
