I am looking at buying an exhaust manifold and had a few question. Is there much of a difference between the BD exhuast manifold, the ATS and AFE manifold? I have looked online but all I can find is generic description of what they are designed to do. I would imagine they are all baiscally the same with the main difference just being price? I see a lot of the ats manifold for sale in the classifieds. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Basically just curious if there is any difference between one of the other.

Thanks,
Alex

i dont know a lot but from reading around i hear that they do add quicker spool and a little lower egts? is it worth it to you? that is the question if i were you i would put that money else where like a floor it stage 3 or arson 3 kit. but yes if i had the money i would prolly buy one there are usually used ones on ebay

Yeah it would not break my heart if the turbo spooled a little faster. I guess I was hoping someone could comment on the quality of one unit vs. another.

Having used both ATS and BD (both 2nd gen manifolds) for twin sets, I can see no visual difference between the two of those.

how are the 2nd gen manifolds are they the way to go? or an aftermarket third gen?

sold it

i believe that the ats and bd are the same i have sold 2 BD's one came in with an ats stamp the other bd. but if your truck is modded than its a good purchase decrease egt's while getting faster spool up just my .02

not to mention that the stock manifolds are prone to cracking
