Well I am about to order my new air intake manifold here in a few minutes. Just wanted to check and see what yall where using? ATS? CFM? BANKS?

thanks!

ok now that i think about it....which should I get first?'

AFE blade runner intake manifold?

OR

ATS exhaust manifold??

 

well I went with the CFM intake manifold for now. and will certainly be getting the ATS exhaust manifold soon!

 

your gains from the exhaust manifold wont be seen untill you are pushing some good power. . .I believe the stock one is good to over 500hp. the only possable benifit I can see is EGT reduction when pushing that kind of power.

 

man, 35 minutes of waiting... you were impatient! i'da recommended the ATS intake... several ports for boost/injection or whatever else you want to tap into it for. the cfm doesnt have that IIRC. Triton had one, not sure which one he's running these days.

 

A BD representative replyed me about exaust manifold
what he said:

I do not care what anyone says the Exhaust Manifolds do not increase power or torque, ours, Banks, ATS's... no ones increase power! They are the exact same dimensions as OEM but are in 3 pieces, the 3 piece manifolds have slip joints that allow for expansion and shrinkage that the one piece ones do not. The more power you have the hotter they get which causes them to crack, by adding a 3 piece one it allows them to stretch a without cracking, no performance gains to be had, do not be fooled by what someone
tells you. They are the same dimensions as stock so they perform like stock but add reliability!

 

That's some cool and very informaive and HONEST info right there. I'd be a customer of his for life based solely on his honesty.

Did he say anything about intakes?

 

nope but i can ask him

Its BD PowerDave on diesel bomber forum

 

i understand that they are the same as stock....but are they not stronger because of the three peices compared to one??? i hear that 2nd gens stocker is sure to crack at some point...and i am planning on a bigger turbo and vp 44 in the next few months...

 

haha yes i know..it was an impulse buy...but its all good...cant hurt anything can only gain from it soo....and im sure ill be buying an exhaust menifold sooner or later!
