Hahaha well dang I got caught from the get go. Guess I can't pull a fast one on you lol.

 

You guys are great!!! My truck for those that don't remember is a 94.5 f350 crew cab 4x4. We drive it at least a couple times a month between lubbock and corpus and regularly haul our slide in camper or horse trailer all over the place too. We got a sailboat to have fun with and live on in corpus about a year ago and it has been fun!!! The truck has been great this year after I rebuilt the trans last winter. A few months ago I also took the body completely off and painted the entire underside and chassis with gloss black rustoleum. I didn't want the beach weather getting a hold of it. I didn't notice the uppipes leaking then but I sure wish I had replaced them with the cab off!!!! OMG that was easy access. Its gonna be a pain in the butt now I know. We just started smelling exhaust in the cab about a month ago. I think its coming in the cowl vent because I know the rest of the cab is sealed tight. So tight that I have to crack a wing window to close the doors. I guess on our trip this week to corpus I have to leave the wings open a bit so we dont get gassed. I have to wait till december to have the cash to do this. Thanks everyone!!!

 

There are always options out there for cheaper products. Either build your own or keep on searching until you find a price you like.

 

I bit the bullet and got the international bellowed pipes. The worst part was gettin the old ones out. I Got my old ones in the garage if somebody want to mod them up without having here truck down in the process. Not sure if that would work but just a thought. While u have the thing apart check your fuel pump for any signs of leaking. Also remember to get new o rings for the turbo pedestal too.

 

We also modify these uppies with a bellow and our own fitting to replace the factory slip joint. I can't post prices, but pm me or shoot me an email if interested.
Not as cheap as building yoruself, but no where near what IH wants, either.

And for the record I have no idea why the SD pipes, with more parts cost 1/2 of what the OBS pipes cost.
