Under hood pipe identification

Is there a diagram somewhere to identify the pipes?

My dealership told me my cold side pipe was starting to crack and should be replaced. I do NOT want to pay dealer prices for a 15 min job. Also thinking of doing all the pipes under the hood at the same time. May even do an S&B intake.

Are there any kits that include all piping?

The cold side is the rubber one. HC3Z-6F073-B is the newest number. It is pretty common for these to split open and you may not even know until it causes codes or performance issues.

make sure you get the correct year....they are not all the same...I ordered one and they sent the wrong year so it was off by 1/2 inch.

I went with the Pusher hot and cold side on my 450. Plenty of YouTube videos showing the installs.

would also recommend you get the banks MAP spacer for your year vehicle.....the pusher intake changes the pointing of the egr return tube into the intake pointing it at MAP vs stock which sends egr gas to a mushroom which dflects and mixes with intake air.

Also, depending on what you select, some require a tune to make them work properly.

The Pusher Intake does not require a tune according to their website. 👍🏻

Yes, one guy, my installer has done over 200 Pusher Intakes and zero issues, and their truck is running great. 🤷‍♂️👍🏻😎

Stock emissions on MY 2022 user here, running the full Pusher Piping intake with an S&B Open air element intake. ZERO issues across the board. So called "problems" without details is the bigger problem. We don't know the problems, we can't potentially resolve the "problems" to the parts, the install process, or lack of owner knowledge.

I'd recommend the full Pusher Piping kit to anyone running emissions on.

Awesome report Heavy Assualt!👍🏻🇺🇸
Well said, so called problems can at times be due to lets say a subpar install process and lack of knowledge.

Stock emissions here as well. My full DCR, Pusher intake, and both upper and lower Fleece fuel assemblies and Donaldson filters are being installed next week by Arod. The Fleece filters will be so much easier to travel with and swap out spin on filters during our long trips with our camper.
I don’t trade trucks and long range planning has me keeping the Beast so for me it’s worth it for the spin on filters are worth the convenience.



I will always have a set in the truck.

I am thinking about replacing the upper plastic intake manifold with an aluminum one from either HSM or SPE mainly for ease of access to work on the engine. To the guys who have ditched the factory upper intake which has "mufflers" built in how is the additional noise in the cab? I do lots of long trips with this truck some towing my camper and one of the reasons this truck is nice for long hauls is how quiet it is in the cab. How much louder is the additional induction noise?

Thanks
