Not sure what the rest of you are talking about but am curious why run6.0run is getting so many failures from the IPR GEN2 delete? First I've heard and generally it's regarded as the best.
Where exactly are they leaking and are all failures the same?
Did you look at the video? That one was leaking through the casting.
Right now it's almost a 10% loss rate. I've got a couple hundred running around. It's either the coolant port into the intake,, or the casting itself causing the leaks I've seen. IPR uses a sealing process with sealant to try to mask the porous, crappy cast. Rather than using better stock. I remember he told me it was too expensive to use billet. Remember guys,, I've had to point it out to quite a few customers that didn't know they were leaking. It'd be cool if everyone on this thread would start by posting a pic of their setup. My failures are from a year or more ago. My question is,,, how many people out there have installed 200 gen 2's???? Most people have installed one. This crap is taxing me like a ******!!!
No doubt about it Ant,rework sucks. Been there done that for many years when I worked at the dealership. I'm telling ya, I'd find a way to make better on his design without infringement on his patent. I know you have a lot going on but I think it will be to your Benifit and your customers,not to mention the 6.0 community.

man, that's bad news. There must be 100s if not 1000s of folks on this forum along running that kit. The elimination of the stupid $40 blue EGR cooler hose is what I liked about it. The uppipe is better than most anything out there and it's a one-piece design. Sorry to hear you are having so many issues.
There's no patent on an emissions removal device. Pat pending,, isn't a patent. Besides the fact that mine are much different. Here's a video I sent to Vince about those up pipes
I got burnt before from the hardware before when he was sending out cheap up pipe to y pipe gaskets. If it was me,, I'd get ford bolts to mount the up pipe. His gasket is ok now tho.
I had issues with the hose clamps and hose he sent with the coolant filter. Cheap Chinese garbage. I replace it all with marine grade clamps and American made hose. On top of that you don't get valves for the filter so when you clean it you have to drain the radiator. Those items are a must for PROPER service. Great ideas, but he cheeped out on the product. Also as you mention in one of your videos the coolant filter is mounted upside down,another mess you have to deal with.

When changing or cleaning the filter I clamp the hoses at the filter with flat vice grips. Ball valves are offered as an option but with the limited space under the hood of a 6.0L they may be difficult to install.
Yes, for the price of the IPR stuff hose clamps, and hoses should be upgraded. IPR also has sub par installation instructions, accessing a computer screen while working on a truck is often times not feasible for a DIY person.
Off shore cheap Chinese parts to cut costs and we see where it ends.

The problem with clamping a hose is it will crush the sections and create a fail
point over time. The heavier the hose and the higher the pressure the sooner it
can fail. We won't even go into brake lines with hoses being clamped.
One has to ask how much the guy is saving going with a cheap casting with the
extra work to "seal" it. You would think by using a good quality casting or a billet
and having it done on a CNC that in the end you would be saving money.
Wait, I thought the bypass manifold was CNC machined from billet aluminum plate? So, you're saying it's actually cast?
To date, this is the only poor review I've read on several forums of the IPR delete. If this is going to turn into trash-talking someone's merchandise then post the reasons and details that make it an inferior product (compared to the others). The video shows a leak but it's not exactly clear (to me) where it's coming from. It educates prospective buyers and gives the rest of us an accurate perspective of the product. Just my 2 cents.

I'm really not looking for feedback,, I'm going to be giving it. I would like pics of everyone else's. Maybe everyone can snap a pic and state when it was purchased. I did an injector on one of my trucks that I did about 30 months ago and it's dry. I'm not saying they're all bad. And yes,, IPR is cast. Mine are billet. 10% failure rate on IPR's cast manifolds is what I've been seeing. Thx Sean for the heads up on this.
I did. The OP is looking for feedback. I provided mine and I guess I have nothing to add so will bow out.
You all know the drill,, pics,, or it didn't happen. My numbers are suggesting that if 10 people post pics,, at least one will have coolant residue on it. Most of my customers didn't even know they were leaking.

I got burned on the cheap gasket when I did mine...
BTW Anthony, tell Julie I figured out th e issue with my truck. I'll call tomorrow
