Question: I just bought a bulletproofed 6L Powerstroke. What is the best exhaust for 6.0 Powerstroke Fords. Should I get a good sounding muffler or straight pipe it?

MBRP offers a bolt-on full exhaust system that sounds good and is easy to install.

What size exhaust does a 6.0 Powerstroke have?

MBRP’s turbo back exhaust for the 6.0 Powerstroke upgrades exhaust size from a stock OEM 3.5 inches to 4 inches in diameter.

Is a straight pipe for a 6.0 a good idea?

No products found.

Straight pipe and stacks or straight pipe exhaust kits with tips make for a great sounding 6.0.

The exhaust is just as loud as the turbo whine, which sounds like a jet fighter on these trucks.

Borla, Magnaflow, Flowmaster, Diamond Eye exhausts, Walker BTM mufflers all make great options.

The 6L Ford Powerstroke replaced the 7.3L in 2003. Ford used the 365 cubic inch engine Super Duty trucks, Econoline vans, and Excursions.

These engines had issues with the oil cooler and EGR cooler, high pressure oil system, and head gaskets.

Once the Powerstroke has head studs done, upgrades to the oil and EGR coolers, and upgrade to the HPO system, the truck is bulletproof. It will run just as long as as the engine it replaced.
