Ill double check it tonight if I can. Wife has the truck at work right now. But yea a hissing sound is pretty accurate. I didn't have my face back there cause it was to hot but the clamp looked like it was %100. I tightened the crap out of it when I reinstalled just to keep from it leaking.. ugh so stressful

 

My y pipe cracked at the flex joint. Every thing you described was happening to me. Smoked like crazy taking off until the turbo caught up then took off like a rocket. MPG dropped insanely. You could also hear a loud constant swooshing when at idle. Loud whistle when driving. Feel behind your turbo and see if its your y pipe.

 

i'll definitely check into it Curry. Sounds exactly like mine to a T. Think it would be best to replace it? I thought about pulling it and maybe welding it and reinstalling. But depends on the price i guess.

is there a specific name for that y pipe? i cant find any online to price them.

 

You can tighten the crap out of that clamp and if its not lined up right it will still leak, there is a slight recess in the turbo flange that the Ypipe fitting has to fit into, sometimes you just have to move the clamp out of the way so you can see that it is all lined up.

I believe it was like $225 from tousley Ford. I'll see what I can find.

If I were you id get the hd y pipe. I didn't have time to wait on my case I couldn't have my truck down for to long. Im going to put the hd bellows on my cracked one and weld them in. I had to get mine from the dealer out here was a little more but gas mileage went to **** and was killing me. Check these out
