You guys are killin me, all this dyno talk, I really need to get my 04 Turbo'd V10 on the rollers. I took it out today, got the PCV system worked out. set the WG to 10lb of boost. Damn this thing pulls my excursion like a big block mustang.
so Fords HP rating went from 275 up 310 HP (Flywheel I'm guessing)
and that was a 35 hp diff. as well.. Intersesting!
Yes Ford and I guess pretty much all OEs post flywheel numbers with the entire stock exhaust system too I believe. The drivetrain loss is usually over 30% on the SDs, which is quite a bit.

I just read through the catalytic converter thread from 2008 and would like to see some actual numbers in this thread. Stock cat, flow through cat and straight pipe. Stock tune with the test pipe is the one I would be most interested in. My 99 V10 sits in a 36' Pace Arrow Vision motorhome and pulls a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Just driving around is heavy duty hauling. I only get 6.8 mpg, but I did pick up some power with the install of shorty Gibson headers.
I have a stock V10 and would like to give this Ypipe a try. Couple of questions. Is this a easy fix and could I do it myself in my garage without any welding? Also who has the best ypipe for the money. Thanks.
If you have never worked with exhaust systems you would probably be biting off more than you could chew..... rusted bolts... stuck pipes....having the right tools....everything sounds simple until you actually try doing it...
true those pipes are now very rusty. get it installed for $20 or so...
OH something that seems strange to me on my excursion... 2001 with the old style "ram" y pipe. So what y pipe kit should I get? Also will get a tuner from mike. Think I blew an engine tonight (I just had the bearings replaced from a little knock I heard) when a whine started that sounded like a belt grew into a knock. Have a guy coming tomorrow that had worked on it before. keep yall updated...
Question did all the 2001 excursions come with pi heads?
and Why does mine have the ram y pipe?
Looking to
a. fix engine
b. y pipe
c. headers
d. tune
possibly an intake although kenne bell has a tech article saying it is a waste of money on the X... have a FM
Hey Mike...
Anything new going on?
Havent heard from you in a while. Got the Y-pipe worked out fine.
Then another plug blew out as soon as I drove away.
Third times a charm huh, no threads left this time. Decided to tear down the whole damn truck and start from scratch.
