Turbo Intercooler Outlet Tube Replacement for Ford Super Duty - Direct

In this review of the Turbo Intercooler Outlet Tube Replacement for Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 6.7L (2017-2019), the bottom line is straightforward: this part is aimed at owners who need a direct-fit replacement for a worn or damaged intercooler outlet duct and want a simple swap without modification. The reviewer found the product useful for restoring routing and appearance in the engine bay, and the single biggest reason to buy is its exact OEM replacement part number match, which greatly reduces fitment guesswork and installation time.

Key Features

• OEM replacement part number: Replaces the factory HC3Z-6F073-B part number so buyers can expect correct fitment for the listed trucks.
• Direct vehicle fit: Designed for 2017-2019 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty with the 6.7L PowerStroke engine, reducing the need for adjustments during installation.
• Durable tube material: Constructed from a sturdy tube material intended to withstand engine bay conditions and maintain airflow routing.
• Sleek black finish: The black color helps the replacement blend in with surrounding components for a factory look.
• Optimized outlet shape: The outlet duct is formed to fit the engine compartment layout, helping preserve turbocharger and intercooler function when installed correctly.

Who It's For

This intercooler outlet tube is best for Ford F-250 and F-350 owners from model years 2017 through 2019 who need a one-to-one replacement for the OEM outlet duct and prefer a ready-to-install part that minimizes downtime. It suits DIY mechanics, independent shops, and fleet managers who value correct fitment and a clean engine bay appearance.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners with different model years, other engines, or vehicles that require an upgraded or reinforced aftermarket performance tube; this product is positioned as a replacement duct rather than a high-performance modification.
