So aside from sound is everyone agreeing that the rcd are the best? Are the rcd flowing anymore then 6.0s? Or are 6.0s just as good? Or is there a better set out there?

what kind of a build are you doing? for most of us with tow power size turbos the 6oh manifolds spools well, sound good and most of all eliminates the cracking bellows issue.

As of right now no one has any info that there is a better manifold than 6.0 or vice versa. The stockers suck. RCD manifolds are really clean and can us factory up-pipes or HD pipes. It's kind of hard to have dyno comparison just on manifolds. Just depends on you preference.

Elite dyno tested before and after the new steedspeeds. They made more power, drove the turbos harder (more boost) and spooled faster compared to stock 6.4 manifolds.

I have not tested the RCD units.

I'm just looking to do a 72 atmo and one day step up to the 59 as well I'm keeping the stock appearing turbos so not very big. So y'all think I would benefit from the rcd or just spend my penny's on other things and get a set of 6.0 manifolds
I understand that there is no real numbers to back up ether but just oppention from y'all that have run both or ether

I would say that the 6.0 manifolds and uppipes are a nice upgrade forsure from stock, but I dont know if the New steed speeds are better than the 6.0 manies. I know that Dustball was planning on doing some testing on the RCD manifolds, but may have never gotten around to that yet. I would be curious to see how the steed speeds do compared to the 6.0 manifolds.

If they didnt improve over the stock 6.4 manis, there would be a serious issue! LOL

Most people want to see 6.0 manis vs steed speeds. But there is no pleasing everybody.

I do have a set of the RCD manifolds and up pipes. I bought them with the intentions of testing them for Jared. Since then I have gotten too busy with various things to even think about working on my truck. With that being said, my set is getting shipped to Elite for testing so that results will finally be coming for these products. A big thanks to Tadd for helping me out on this!
