Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Exhaust Parts
What years and models of Kenworth T600 do these exhaust parts fit?
Our Kenworth T600 exhaust parts are designed to fit models from 1987 through 2007. However, there are variations between early models (1987-1994) and later models (1995-2007) due to changes in mounting brackets and pipe diameter specifications. Always verify your truck's specific year and engine configuration before ordering. If you're unsure, provide us with your OEM number and we can help confirm compatibility.
Are these exhaust stacks chrome-plated steel or stainless steel, and what's the difference in durability?
We carry both chrome-plated steel and 304 stainless steel exhaust stacks. Chrome-plated options provide a mirror finish at a lower cost but may show pitting or rust after 2-3 years depending on your climate and maintenance. Stainless steel stacks cost more initially but resist corrosion better and typically last 5-7 years or longer. For trucks operating in northern states with road salt exposure, we strongly recommend stainless steel for longevity.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for replacing exhaust components?
Most exhaust stack replacements can be completed with basic hand tools including socket sets, wrenches, and penetrating oil for stubborn bolts. However, you'll need a sawzall or exhaust pipe cutter if modifying pipe lengths. Muffler replacements typically require 2-3 hours and may need a floor jack to support the exhaust system during installation. We recommend having exhaust clamps, hangers, and high-temperature sealant on hand before starting the job.
What's the difference between straight pipes, muffled, and curved stack options for my T600?
Straight pipes offer maximum exhaust flow and the loudest sound but may not meet noise regulations in some areas. Muffled stacks reduce sound levels by 3-5 decibels while maintaining good flow characteristics. Curved stacks direct exhaust away from the trailer and reduce soot buildup on your equipment but can be harder to clean. Consider your local noise ordinances, typical cargo, and personal preference when choosing. Many drivers opt for 5-inch diameter stacks for the classic look, though 6-inch options are available for higher horsepower applications.
How do I prevent exhaust leaks at the connections and what gaskets do I need?
Exhaust leaks commonly occur at the turbo outlet, muffler connections, and stack base. Always replace gaskets when installing new components - don't reuse old ones. Use high-temperature exhaust gaskets rated for at least 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Apply a thin layer of high-temp sealant on both sides of the gasket before installation. Torque band clamps to manufacturer specifications (typically 60-80 ft-lbs) and retighten after the first 500 miles as components heat cycle and settle.
