stock manifolds

[Groomzybanshee]

i was looking at a set the other day and they really dont seem like they would flow very well. Or am i just an idoit?

 

[Dieselboy.]

Of course not.


Man up !.................... Headers

 

[Vader's Fury]

Headers are over-rated imo. A good log style manifold like the ones that mpd makes for there 6.0 and 6.4 kits I think would be a big improvement.

 

[Groomzybanshee]

A log style manifold is what i would like also.. I would think they would hold up to heat better?

There was a guy on PSN that made his own SS log manifolds.

Try searching it, I lost track half way through his build but they looked like a nice piece

 

[Vader's Fury]

I would think so. Just make them out of a decent thickness stainless and call it a day.

The man you speak of built the sclb with the true twin turbos. Had the exhaust run under the door like and old school corvette.

Project was called WTF or something along those lines.

 

[Dieselboy.]

To be honest, if I were to do it again I would not do headers.

The 1000$ tag is steep for the quality they produce now. I think a SS 3/16" wall log manifold would be perfect, with a 5/8" flange.

I also would not do headers again, unless I found them for a cheaper price.

Log manifolds are where it's at!

You guys never saw this?

I'm going to do the 7.3 quite soon and it will work similar to the 6.4 in this dyno.

I for one saw it, but it seems that most of the cool stuff that works great on the 6.4 or even the 6.0 never gets produced for the 7.3.

Usually hear some excuse about it being a dead platform and so old that the market is no longer there......

Would be sweet once you get them into production for sure. Till then most of us die hard 7.3 guys are limited to what we can produce in our own garages.

 

[steedspeed]

I will be making these for sure. A good friend has a 7.3 and my welder has one too so there is plenty of encouragement going on around here to get it done.

 

[powerstrokenstang]

Any rough idea on pricing. Id prob jump on it too.

I assume that your the same steedspeed out of Canada that builds those sweet manifolds for Cummins?

 

[Cat_rebel]

are you being serious or joking?

Totally serious, I've been up since 5am & worked all day. Decided to jump on here for 5 mins before I head to bed.

 

[Groomzybanshee]

I just think a 1000+ dollars for a pair of manifolds will hurt it's sales.

 

[PowerstrokeJunkie]

All of you are high, i'd do headers again and again and again on my truck's setup that doesnt see stupid EGT's like my built engine did.

 

[Groomzybanshee]

I'm needing something that can handle the egts is why I want a log style... Around 2k egt aren't nice.

Did you even look at the dyno? It made an extra 250 wtq and 92 whp at 1900!!!! what else is going to give you a bigger increase in power than that for $1000? Never mind that the EGTs are going to plummet. BTW, I already have 9 sales this week and when the high HP guys start to get these running the market will go nuts. 10 second trucks are going to become 9 second trucks.

So what's a realistic time frame to have some of these produced? Need a unbiased tester I will gladly be your guy :naughty:
