Yes/No???

I have never reused one but you might be able to, depends on the condition of it when it comes off.

 

I agree, you MIGHT be able to, but my experience with gas engines says that you should replace them. I agree with what 06 said above, the condition would determine, but likely best to replace.

 

sure they can, but they might not seal, but anyway to save a $.

 

So everyone that installs a pyro replaces the gaskets????? I've read both ways...don't get me wrong, I always replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets in a gasser, but several threads indicated reusing them...just wasn't sure...

I'm not wanting to drill my manifold because I have a second one that's already drilled...keep mine for good.

And the set we got from DCX was $13/gasket...pretty pricey for 6 gaskets. Guess I'll need to call Cummins...

NO.....some of us install it after the turbo and always have, always will....


Yea, I know, let the flaming begin, its supposed to alter your reading by a few hundred degrees, but for the extra ease, and no filings or gaskets to worry about, I can do the math...

 

You can order the Isspro color coded guages for either pre or post turbo. It does the math for you. I just installed new manifold a few months back and I didn't pay as much for all the gasket's needed as your talkin just the exhaust ones. I got em thru Cummins but I don't remember a price on em. I know I got all the gaskets and new bolts for this project for under $60.

 

Pre and post turbo gauges???? What next???? Thanks Bubba, I honestly didnt know that!! I generally run the Attitude, so I have never had the gauges, but this is great info!!!

 

I reused mine

 

If installed post-turbo, what's a "safe" max EGT...keep in mind, the truck is more/less stock short being almost straight-piped and swiss-cheesed airbox...

I knew the made pre and post...even the Granatelli monitor I'm installing can read two pyro probes...but the threads I have read indicated they weren't nearly as accurate...
