Twin Pipes??

Has anyone noticed that the 250 and 450 on the fordvrhicles.com has 2 tailpipes?

They're not really twin pipes. It's a simply "Y" split right at the end. Not true twins all the way back to the manifolds if that's what you're thinking.

I heard the twin vented tips are because the EGT is so high?

I read somewhere that the paint on the box peeled from the heat and this twin tip design reduced the heat.

A new one went by our buss and i noticed that it was one pipe with a dual tip, but that was the V10. I picked up a magazine yesterday and i saw a picture of the 450 and it looked like it had Dual pipes all the way back. From the picture i couldnt tell if was a Y, it didnt look like it tho it looks sweet.

It's definitely a Y split behind the rear wheel. Take a look at these photos. They clearly show a single pipe to the rear of the vehicle and then the very cool Y splitter at the back.

If you have a tough time with the links below, you can get to the original photos here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...-photos-4.html Look for post #47
