Ford F650-F750 Truck Exhaust Parts

Frequently Asked Questions About Ford F650-F750 Truck Exhaust Parts

What exhaust pipe diameter do I need for my F650 or F750?

Most Ford F650 and F750 trucks use 5-inch diameter exhaust systems, though some older models (pre-2004) may have 4-inch systems. Always verify your specific truck's requirements by checking your current exhaust diameter or consulting your vehicle specifications. Diesel engines typically require 5-inch systems for proper exhaust flow and temperature management.

Will aftermarket exhaust parts void my truck's warranty?

Installing aftermarket exhaust components generally will not void your entire vehicle warranty, but it may affect warranty coverage for emissions-related components. For trucks still under warranty, we recommend using EPA-compliant exhaust parts and keeping all receipts. Commercial trucks used for business should maintain compliance with DOT regulations and local emissions standards.

How difficult is it to install exhaust components on F650/F750 trucks?

Installation complexity varies by component. Clamps, hangers, and straight pipes can typically be installed with basic tools in 1-2 hours. Complete system replacements or DPF/muffler installations may require 3-4 hours and specialized tools like pipe cutters and welding equipment. Due to the size and weight of F650/F750 exhaust components, we recommend having a helper and proper lifting equipment available.

What's the difference between aluminized and stainless steel exhaust parts?

Aluminized steel exhaust parts offer good corrosion resistance at a lower price point and typically last 3-5 years in normal conditions. Stainless steel components cost more but can last 7-10 years or longer, making them ideal for trucks operating in harsh environments or with high idle times. For F650/F750 trucks used in snow belt states or coastal areas, stainless steel provides better long-term value.

Do I need special exhaust parts for my F650/F750 with a Cummins or Caterpillar engine?

Yes, exhaust routing and mounting points differ between Ford's standard PowerStroke engines and optional Cummins or Caterpillar engines. Cummins ISB and ISL engines typically require specific exhaust manifolds and different pipe routing. Always specify your engine type when ordering, as using incorrect parts can result in fitment issues and potential engine damage from improper exhaust flow.
