I had a little accident today when tapping a hole in my exhaust manifold. Now time to replce it. A OEM one from Dodge will run me around $200. I looked into aftermarket ones and that would run me $450+. Do you really get that much benfit from doing a aftermarket exhaust manifold? Trying to figure out which one I should order.

wow...I am amazed the OEM ones are that cheap!

I would say that if you plan on modifying down the road, go ahead and get an aftermarket one. Most already have a threaded hole for a Pyro - just so you don't make the same mistake twice!

With the stock turbo you'll see little/no difference but from what I hear, an aftermarket manifold eliminates considerable lag with a bigger turbo....

What year truck do you have? I have one with 36k on it that I'll sell you for 50 bucks. It is from my 06.

I have a early 04, so yours is diffrent. As of now I have edge juice w/attitude, exhaust, intake, methanaol injection. Next item was going to be a lift pump and then doing a set of injectors here in the next few weeks. I dont have a problem spending the money on the manifold, but just dont want it to be waste money if it wont help me out.

They're well worth the money. Let me know if I can answer any questions. :thumbsup

i agree well worth it, most people see about a 75* reduction in egts, fater spool up, smoother response, and maybe a mpg increase but only if your lucky.

They are way worth it, even on a stock turbo. Since your thinking of injectors, I would go ahead and do it, it will help with keeping the egt's down and will help even the stock turbo to spool a little faster.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to go ahead and order up a BD manifold. Found it for $410.

I forgot to mention that they will work with you on their pricing, I just ordered a new HTT turbo from him at a crazy low price. Good Luck Man
