Switching exhaust manifolds
 

Alrighty was looking around on my truck today and seen that my exhaust manifold is cracked I was wanting to know about switching to a second gen manifold I have an exhaust brake already installed and don't want to lose it jus wanting to know what I'm gonna get into to switch it out

Also is the turbo flange on the 2nd gen the same as a3rd gen cause I don't want to change my turbo

I'm not sure what all you are asking but I think the turbo/manifold will bolt up. I'm not a manifold expert but the 2nd gen manifold has the turbo in the center so the drain pipe,air inlet and downpipe will all be different. I thought about doing the same thing before I got my 3rd gen 2 piece manifold, just in case I ever wanted compounds and I decided I would never want to spend that much $$. I also didn't want to change all the plumbing for no other reason. You might be able to use your ebrake if you get a 2nd gen DP. I don't think there was a CTD with the turbo in the center of the manifold and the air filter in the front so that's another problem to come up with inlet fittings. FYI, I found a 2 piece manifold at KTperformance.net (last summer) for $360 delivered. Maybe he still has the sale going on. Craig

You will need several things to make this work.

1. New downpipe
2. New intake
3. New Cold air Charge tube.
4. 2nd gen oil drain tube.

The stock oil feed line should be long enough to reach. I do know it is on my 6.7

thanks for all the info i found a guy that had a stock 3rd gen for $50 bucks so thats what i went for right now
