A local muffler shop would make this for less then $200. Geesh.
After years of design work and testing, Classic Diesel Designs has produced a one piece, bellowed up pipe built around the OEM turbo kit design. This up pipe replaces the bulky, cast, two piece Y and Up pipe that tend to leak boost and soot through the slip joints over time. Fits all 6.9/7.3...

It’s a very high quality piece, will most definitely outlast everything else around it, and should be very easy to install.
It’s also guaranteed to fit, and that’s probably a tall order for a muffler shop, what with engine and firewall clearance, and putting the turbo in just the right spot to fit the intake hat, pedestal, and downpipe. There’s more going on there than you might think. Also, the V band clamp and bellow used aren’t particularly cheap. Probably $150ish at least for these two parts, if not more. Welding supplies, oh and stainless steel tubing isn’t the cheapest either.
Maybe it’s a little bit expensive, but he told me that it’s mostly to fund his projects, so figures it’d be expensive.
Bottom line, it’s the highest quality y/up pipe on the market, priced accordingly.
