Turbo Pedestal Exhaust Housing Up Pipes for Ford F250 F350 (1994-1997) 7.3L Powerstroke

High-Flow Turbo Pedestal and Up Pipes for 1994-1997 Ford F-250, F-350

What it does: This comprehensive kit eliminates the failure-prone factory Exhaust Back Pressure Valve (EBPV) and rigid up pipes to restore lost boost pressure and optimize exhaust flow.

The Stock F-250, F-350 Exhaust Weakness

The 1994-1997 OBS Powerstroke factory up pipes utilize a rigid crush-style donut gasket design that is notorious for degrading over time. Due to intense thermal cycling, these OEM pipes frequently crack and leak exhaust drive pressure before it reaches the turbine. This translates directly to sluggish spool times, higher exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), and a severe loss of power and fuel economy. Additionally, the factory Exhaust Back Pressure Valve (EBPV) actuator rod located in the turbo pedestal is heavily prone to leaking oil as the internal seals deteriorate, leaving messy oil drips and creating potential engine starvation risks if left unaddressed.

The Engineering Solution

This drop-in replacement kit solves these inherent design flaws by eliminating the EBPV entirely with a high-flow, non-EBPV pedestal and matching turbine housing. By removing the restrictive butterfly valve, exhaust flow to the turbine is optimized for faster spooling and lower EGTs. Furthermore, the included heavy-duty bellowed up pipes are constructed from durable 409 stainless steel. Unlike the factory rigid pipes, these engineered bellows allow for the natural expansion and contraction caused by extreme exhaust heat. This permanently prevents gasket blowout and pipe cracking, ensuring maximum drive pressure reaches the turbocharger. The kit includes all necessary hardware and gaskets for a permanent fix for factory oil and exhaust leaks.

Common Questions

Will this kit fit my 1994-1997 Ford F-250 or F-350 7.3L Powerstroke?
Yes, this kit is a direct drop-in replacement engineered for 1994-1997 OBS (9th Gen) Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks equipped with the 7.3L Powerstroke (Navistar T444E) engine.

Does this fit early 1994 7.3L IDI models?
This kit is built specifically for the 1994.5-1997 7.3L Powerstroke direct-injection models equipped with the TP38 turbocharger.

What is included in the box?
The kit includes heavy-duty 409 stainless steel bellowed up pipes, a high-flow non-EBPV turbo pedestal, a matching non-EBPV turbine exhaust housing, and all necessary installation hardware and gaskets.

How do the bellowed up pipes improve on the factory design?
Unlike the rigid factory pipes that rely on crush-style donut gaskets, the 409 stainless steel bellows expand and contract with exhaust heat to prevent pipe cracking and gasket blowout.

Why does this kit replace both the turbo pedestal and the turbine housing?
Using a matched non-EBPV pedestal and high-flow turbine housing completely removes the factory Exhaust Back Pressure Valve butterfly and actuator rod, stopping common pedestal oil leaks and improving exhaust flow to the turbine.
