Usually do to Intercooler tubes needing to be extended I believe. I am sure someone will confirm or deny on here that has went through this process.

The 6.5 isn't intercooled. The reason they say that is because the crossover from the drivers side to passenger side manifold has to be modified. Just get a new one bent by a muffler shop. They replaced half of mine, and I wish I woulda known before I picked up the truck and had the whole thing replaced. Also, if you have a 2 peice driveshaft, the hanger thing as to be dropped.
