5" exhaust

I can not find anybody that makes a 5" kit for the 7.3. Is there a clearence issue on the X, that is not on the F250.

Thanks

Check with Mark at MKO Power - Quality Diesel Products At Competitive Prices

My guess is it won't fit between the rear shock and the gas tank!

I asked several 4x4 places around here and looked on-line and was told that you only use a 5" for rigs over 400 hp or so..The hp may be different,but the idea was that,for some reason,the 7.3L only should have a 4",unless it's REALLY jacked up in hp.

A 5" system won't fit between the shock and fuel tank, it's very tight with a 4" inch system.

But you could always make it dump out before the back tire and it would work

Thanks guys I appreciate it. I have some kind of exhaust on it now will try to get a picture, of it. It is pretty big but not sure, what size. It is not a full system though just muffler and tail pipe, hooked in to stock and out the back. But it is a good bit bigger than stock. What is stock size.

Thanks

Stock is 3.5.
There are lots of folks that like the 5" on the 7.3, but as mentioned earlier, you would have to re route it as it wont fit by the tank.

Either way, if your going to buy a system, call MKO power. They have great deals!
Seems like the most populare for the
EX are MBRP and Silverline.
