Up-pipe replacement/upgrade

I will be replacing my Y-pipe and up-pipe when I replace my turbo soon. I have the bulletproof EGR cooler and will probably keep it in place. But I have not found a good replacement up-pipe that has a better HD bellow than stock. I do not want to keep the stock bellow configuration on the up-pipe.

Anybody know of a good replacement?

Or can offer suggestions?

Thanks.

Contact bullitt390. He has a nice upgrade for the y-pipe at a very reasonable price.

my stock pipe let go around 115 k at the braided sections, both, I replaced it with a PPE it has no braided sections , just wrinkle belly ( what we call it on a boat ) there are no shields so I wrapped it with exhaust wrap twice where it goes by the ICP and IPR, its a nice looking piece, but time will tell, only got 20k on it now

I have found good options for the "Y" pipe, but I am looking for the "Up" pipe options.

So, if anybody can help with the up-pipe, please jump in.

Thanks

I went to IPR site.... I only see OEM Y and Up pipes and a straight through up-pipe that will not work with me still having EGR cooler.

I am still looking for up-pipe without the bellows, but with connection for EGR.

I fixed the spelling on Josh's handle.

FWIW--I've never seen an up-pipe with the EGR and no bellows, but I bet Josh can fix you up with a bellows that won't crack like OEM does.

Thanks for the shout out

As for a solid passenger up pipe that still utilizes the EGR cooler I haven't heard of it. Could be tricky lining up the manifold, cooler and y-pipe if it was all solid.

Avoid the MBRP Y Pipe. It's a complete joke. Seems the Dorman unit has an OK track history so far. Being that it's modeled after the OEM design I would expect failure at some point. And no that isn't a knock on Dorman, just the OEM flex joints are not the ideal solution for the 6.0.
