For the majorityof it's life, it was treated well. There is a period of about 4 years that my uncle had it, that are questionable(the reason it's in as poor a shape as it is now), he drove and worked it like a beater letting it fall apart around the engine. But other than that the 1st owner took good care and my dad did too, they set it up and used it to haul thier 5th wheels. I drive it everyday and baby it for the most part, as I want it to last another 20 years. So hopefully all this shrinkage is just a worst case deal, but a 3 piece pulse tuned sounds interesting.
Thanks.

Think I am leaning toward the if I have it off might qs well improve it with a 3 piece side of the fence. Any suggestions on a specific brand?
Thanks.

I've seen a lot of the ATS one cracked so be warned with those.

Diesel Power Source has the most reasonable priced aftermarket 3 piece.

As far as flow......... as long as they flow as well as our stock manifolds, we have nothing to worry about with our power levels.

It's $369 directly from the source.


I thought I had seen it cheaper but my phone was being a pain the other day and half ass working. It wouldn't open half of the pages.

It may be just a generic picture, but that's a 24v manifold. Some people freak about the round vs. square ports.

It's likely just the picture though.

They actually talk about how their's is better than the comp. because they have one specifically for the 12 valves.
