up pipes?
Just got a new to me 2001 f250 and see talk of up pipes, are these the pipes coming off the exhaust manifolds and up to the back of the turbo? If they are leaking how does this effect the motor? Thanks for any info still educating myself about diesels. New to this site and it looks like alot of great info located here.

The exhaust pressure inside these pipes is what is used to operate the turbo. When this is leaking out, there's less drive pressure forcing the turbine wheel. In turn you get less boost, which means less air. With the same amount of fuel, you get more black smoke due to less airflow going into the engine, less efficency and lower MPG's at most.
