Chrome Up Pipe?

I've had this 05 EX for a little over 3 months and seems I'm getting an education about the 6.0 Lol. Poking around under the hood I see the sticker on the passenger side valve cover says 2004. I also noticed the up pipe from the exhaust manifold is chrome. Possible been replaced don't know if they were built with a chrome pipe. Even though I have the Carfax report showing maintainance records I still find things I didn't know about. But I like the beast 6.0 for sure

The chrome up pipe is probably part of an EGR delete and is the section between the exhaust manifold and y-pipe on the passenger side.

I think my '05 has a manufacture date of 11/04 or something like that.

Only the latest build 05MY Excursions came with 2005 Engines. The majority were built with leftover 2004 engines.

Door sticker says manufactured August of '04. Carfax shows EGR valve replaced. Possible stealth delete? Only 1 fault code shows insufficient EGR flow
