cracked Y pipe

[BLKF250]

Iam not sure yet i want to pressurize the system first i have a mad boost leak only boosting 20pounds max and when i go to get on it i its really noisey in the truck sounds like air going against the fire wall..iam not sure if these are common to go or not on these trucks but i do recall the last time i took it off ( y pipe) at the coil or spring section it had a lot of play in it i would think it shouldnt have alot maybe a little but i ask my buddy at ford and he looked at it for a sec and didnt say anything then was like its should be ok so that didnt make me feel to good so iam asking you guys what do you think?....i put a freeze plug where the egr cooler goes because i have the full delete kit so i dont know if that has something to do with it

Sounds like the y-pipe mine did the same thing after i did the freeze plug for the egr delete.

failed y-pipes are common on 6.0's. the flex usually is where they crack and leak.

I agree... and a mother to change out..... can be done on the truck.... remove the turbo, take the v-clamp off the exhaust remove the manifold bolts and replace... then when you put it back together leave everything loose, tighten the v-clamp, then the turbo then the manifold nuts.... also need to be gumby and have small hands..... helps but it is common... good luck

its not the bad to take out ive pulled it out many times before the bolts are fresh in there i put all new ones in so i guess ill have to pull it out and put a new one in
