Maximizes Exhaust Extraction and Torque. For 1999-2004 models only. Stainless steel construction never cracks or blows. Mandrel-formed tubes tune exhaust flow for maximum torque. Patented PowerPickle pulse converter maximizes exhaust extraction. 5/8 inch thick flanges never warp. Flanges welded both sides, then milled flat. Includes stainless Y-pipe assembly with seamless Y-collector. Includes necessary heat shielding. PowerPickle. Banks invented a ballistic flow device to overcome the problem that occurs where tubes join within a single collector, a dead zone that kills exhaust-gas velocity. The patented PowerPickle fills that void and utilizes the rotational firing order to maximize exhaust extraction. This detail-exclusive to Banks-captures exhaust-gas action and turns it into massive torque. In order to determine if your vehicle is equipped with EGR, look for a large threaded fitting on the left (driver's) side exhaust manifold, top of second port. 5-Year Limited Warranty Torque Tube Exhaust Header System for use with Ford 6.8L V-10 Truck, with EGR, Early Catalytic Converter Key Features: Virtually indestructible 100 percent Stainless Steel Mandrel-formed tubes tune exhaust flow for maximum torque Maximize exhaust extraction Flanges welded on both sides, then milled flat Seamless high-velocity collector Pulls exhaust and slashes backpressure Patented PowerPickle pulse converter maximizes exhaust extraction 5/8 inch thick flanges won't warp or flex Includes stainless Y-pipe assembly Includes heat shielding US Patent #8,468,812 B1 50 State Compliant CARB E.O.
