I guess you are referring to the intake manifold. Theres really no need to replace your stocker. Banks High Ram, ATS Arc Flow.. it doesn't really help you that much. Is your truck manual or automatic?

It's called the 'Air Horn' and most agree that replacing it is a waste of money! If you follow the flow of intake air into the valves, you will see this for yourself.
Not like a gasser. Diesels rely on pressure to get air to the cylinder...not smooth flow.
