2008 Ford F-250 Power Stroke - First Performance: Exhaust For the 6.4L
| 2008 Ford F250 Power Stroke side View
Installing a new exhaust is always one of the first steps toward better diesel performance. With performance parts coming out for Ford's new 6.4L, we knew it would only be a matter of time before we got a look at an exhaust system for the 6.4L. Gibson Performance Exhaust has just released a new emissions- and exhaust-gas-temperature-friendly system for the '08 Fords, so we followed along on an install to see how it's done.
We had a heat gun to check for temperature drops, which was Gibson's main concern with the new Power Stroke, and we also got a quick look at a dyno sheet that showed a slight power increase across the entire rpm range. The system was very easy to install and could theoretically be bolted on by someone at home in an afternoon. With that in mind, we went to Gibson's shop to see how it was done.
