Default Exhaust manifold/header options

I was "Window shopping" for exhaust manifolds, not ready to buy just yet, but I wanted to get some feedback on them, as they seem very similar. I have searched here and on other boards. Is there any discernable benefit of one over the other that I have not been able to figure out? I think that an exhaust manifold will possibly improve even my Stock turbo performance. Any thoughts on that?
For now at least, I'll be sticking with the Stock Turbo... Plans are to go with either a Silver 62 or an SPS 62 later.

Kind of leaning toward this one:
BD Power - Product: Exhaust Manifolds

Are people still pissed at ATS?
I noticed their web site shows the 12ver manifold for all years...

http://www.atsdiesel.com/ats_new/product.asp?p=2164204

While I was "Window Shopping" for Exhaust manifolds, I came across this:
Tubular Stainless Steel - 24V Dodge Truck Diesel Engine

Of course, the price puts it out of my reach, but I thought it was cool. Someone here might be interested in it... Any thoughts on how it'll hold up?


Any comments, ideas, advice, etc. you guys have would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I saw that stainless steel one also. It is pretty cool looking. I still have my original manifold 190,000mi. I think it's time for me to shop for one also

Anyone else have comments on aftermarket exhaust manifolds?

Has someone bought one and noticed a difference that they make?

Anyone with a 3rd gen like mine have any advice on which one to get?

I've searched on this forum and can't find a straight answer on the f body manifolds. I've read that they work and others say they will work but need modified. Do you have any more info on this or does anyone have any pictures? I'm heading over to the LS1 sites to see if anyone has any info there. Thanks again.
