Thought I'd post this from the org. Let's hear your guys thoughts on exhaust manifolds. I plan on getting RCD's manifolds once I receive my state income tax refund. Someone seems to think 304 stainless won't hold up that good on a dd truck... but I beg to differ. Let's hear it!

Im gonna try the bd ones on the tow truck

Its funny you say that Shawn. I really had my heart set on the RCD ones. However after really thinking about it alot yesterday....I just ordered the BD manifolds for mine from Xtreme Diesel. Got a smoking deal. They list for $495 and got them for $425 shipped. The reason I scratched getting the RCD ones is two things. One is...I didn't realize that the BD ones are coated and have ported runners. And second was the price.

id like to see some resluts/gains from any of the headers/manifolds .....that are offerd for the 6.0

 

[HobbyStock62]

Yea, I would to know results as well. Thought they would've a heck of a lot more than 425 bucks.

 

[strokin6L]

Well the BD's list for $495. XPD had them marked down 5%....then took an additional 10% of your order for presidents day sale.

Pretty bad when we Canadians can order Canadian made products from the United States, and pay less than if we would have bought the item from a vendor in Canada.

The problem is. Regardless of product, BD does not care if anyone makes money selling their product. Their resale margins are an absolute joke, they would rather make all the money themselves versus letting the people who actually sell their product do it. I guarantee XDP (industry whore) lost money on your deal. That is not cool for a company trying to keep their doors open. Their cheap Chinese cast manifolds may flow more than a stock 6.0 manifold, but our American Made product is proven, even flow benched for project Godzilla to be the best. Also, when my dealers sell my product, they can afford to keep their lights on. It's a shame, some people can't whore out cheap product just to get publicity. This industry is getting pathetic

Well said here buddy.

This is why most companies have a set MAP on products. Not that everyone follows it.

Where is the link or data showing the different flow comparisons?

I know the 6.0 manifolds have got the job done on many trucks,(to this point on my own 08 to) but there has to be room for improvement in this area.

I have looked many times to find the tests. People have said that these tests have been done, but I can't find anything about them.

I remember seeing data on stock manifolds. The stock 6.0 manifold outflowed the stock 6.4 manifolds, but a ported 6.4 manifold out flowed a ported 6.0 manifold. Didn't see anything about aftermarket manifolds though and I would like to. I've heard the SteedSpeeds LOST power, but never saw the dyno runs.

Thank you buddy

I saw several pictures of tylers as well...very impressive looking pieces
