FAQs
Which exhaust manifold mount do I need, stock, T3, T4, or T6? ▾
Match your turbo flange first (stock/HE351, T3, T4, or T6), then match your year range/engine (5.9 or 6.7).
What’s the difference between an exhaust manifold and an exhaust manifold kit? ▾
A kit includes the manifold plus install items like gaskets, bolts, and spacers (varies by kit).
Do these manifolds help reduce cracking and exhaust leaks? ▾
Many designs use high-silicon ductile iron with slip/expansion joints to reduce thermal fatigue and help prevent cracking/leaks.
Are manifolds pre-drilled for pyrometer probes? ▾
Many options list ports pre-drilled for pyrometer probes (check the product’s FEATURES).
What is a “pulse” manifold? ▾
A fully divided pulse manifold separates flow paths to extract exhaust pulses for quicker spool and improved response.
When should I choose a wastegated manifold? ▾
If you’re building around an external gate setup, wastegated manifolds are designed with a dedicated gate port and divided flow.
Are any of these not for sale in California? ▾
Several manifold products note “Not for sale on licensed California vehicles” in the product ATTENTION section.
Should I replace bolts/spacers when installing a new manifold? ▾
Yes, fresh bolts and spacers help handle heat cycles and reduce the chance of fatigue/stretch and repeat leaks.
