Thanks for checking in to that.

 

Anthony (in the first video) was thinking about selling the IPR welded to the intake manifold.

The IPR was having leaks at the connection to the intake, and other places within the unit.

I wonder if he has second thoughts about the IPR kit, or if IPR is addressing the concerns.

 

Oh wow, I didn't know that. It would seem that the IPR kit would be the best in theory with no hose to leak but a solid piece is only as good as it's connection,

Edit: And it's casting.

 

It's more the casting of the unit i believe?
Haven't had any issue with mine butnif i was in the market i thinl I'd go with one of the SDS rwady to go intakes.

 

If my IPR Gen 2 leaks, the EGR cooler is going back in.

...just maybe with plugs welded into it.

 

It's Vince here just dropping in to clarify some facts here. Ed brought this to my attention.
The GEN2 does not have any welds that can crack due to not having a hose to facilitate movement. If this statement were to be true, almost every part bolted to the engine that "doesn't move" could potentially crack? If you came across this info somewhere please let me know where you found it at so I can address it.

Anthony and I had a discussion about the GEN2 he welded on the intake. All of our castings are sealed before being machined, The sealing process would be compromised under extreme temps such as welding the part where temps exceed 500 degrees.

The most recent video was posted 5/2014, as the year passed we've made improvements and implemented stricter quality control standards. Once in a while we do have to warranty some defects. The amount of kits sold vs. the defects are minimal. We are not perfect, but I we do strive to make some of the best stuff in the industry and we stand behind it 100% with unparalleled customer service. If anyone disagrees please let me know personally so IPR can improve.

I know everyone loves our IPR GEN2 Delete Kits, but no one mentions anything about the quality of our up pipes? We are light years ahead of the competition. We just recently started supplying the up pipes with OEM spec 10mm flange head 10.9 grade bolts.

 

Agree on the uppipe for sure. I just thought the two went hand in hand

 

I wouldn't hesitate to buy an IPR delete.
In fact, I plan on it for sure. When the time comes to dig into the engine valley of the farm truck, I'll do a Gen3 with OEM oil cooler and IPR up pipe.
The simple fact that they responded to my email inquiry so quickly leads me to believe they are not the kind of company to just leave you in the lurch should you have a problem.

 

Mr. Vince, thanks so much for responding in this thread. I definitely take note of companies that respond to the public with issues like this, correcting information so we as consumers can have the best knowledge available to feel confident in our purchases.


Like I said when I started this thread, the mechanic that I know that does these on the side swears by the Sinister kit but the IPR Gen2 kit, hands down, looks of better quality, especially the up pipe.

 

smart man

 

It's my pleasure to clarify. I usually don't go on the forums much because of all the drama on powerstroke.org
I wouldn't mind being a sponsor here as long as the moderators aren't so biased and only willing to support vendors who hand them out freebies if you know what I mean!
If you guys have any questions please call me. If you need me to respond to post on this forum email me a link. I've got way too many projects and too little time. 2016 is going to be a great year for more IPR innovations.

 

Thanks for taking the time out to respond to this Vince!

Vince's commitment to his product line is yet another reason why we are happy to have his product on the shelf! Just compare the IPR offerings to the competition side by side. The difference is clear!
