06 cummins exhaust manifold
 

looking for the next addition to my truck... dont feel like dropping 1400+- on a turbo and a arp stud job just seems to be too big of a job for now... so how about an AFE bladerunner or other kind of exhaust manifold what kind of gains should i expect if any...does it lower exhaust temps or produce quicker spool up? is it worth the money?

bladerunner isn't an exhuast manifold, it's an intake horn, but if you get an exhaust manifold your egts will drop and spool will be a hair faster, as far as in bladerunner goes i doubt you'll see a difference without turbo upgrades

FYI

Actually, the Blade Runner from aFe is also a type of exhaust manifold. Along with being a type of intercooler and intake manifold (intake horn). Think of it as a line of performance parts within the aFe list of products. :c:

I like ATS Arc Flow

Sent from my DROID2

yeah i realized my mistake, personally i'd stay away from a one piece manifold, get a 2 piece like the ats or pdi, the afe is one piece and there are benefits to it, but it's still gonna be a bit better than stock, and probably less prone to cracking, but still more prone to it than a 2 piece

I like the BD exhaust manifolds

I dunno, this aFe Bladerunner that I installed in December is freakin' thick, stout, and made of Stainless Steel. :rocking: Haven't seen any 2-piece Stainless ones, yet. Have you?

Plus, it's already tapped (x2) for EGT / Drive Pressure. Didn't see any other Stainless and tapped twice ones out there when I bought it.

Funny story: Ordered that Manifold while I was flying in Pakistan on a flood relief / humanitarian mission last year. We were about 45 miles away, and flew within 10 miles of, where the SEAL's shot Osama bin Laden in the freakin' head. Nice, eh? I wonder how much of my / our food ended up in that faggots gut. Just as long as our bullets ended up in his cranium, it's all good.
