Product Description
The ATS 204-943-2164 Pulse Flow Exhaust Manifold Kit is a high-performance upgrade for 1994–early 1998 12-valve 5.9L Cummins engines. Designed to improve exhaust flow and turbo efficiency, this 3-piece T4 manifold system delivers increased horsepower, faster spool-up, and reduced exhaust gas temperatures compared to restrictive factory manifolds.
Featuring a pulse flow design, this manifold optimizes exhaust pulse energy to improve turbocharger response and overall engine efficiency. The 3-piece construction allows for expansion and contraction under extreme heat, helping prevent cracking — a common issue with factory one-piece manifolds.
This complete kit includes gaskets and turbo mounting hardware, making it an ideal solution for performance builds, towing applications, and reliability upgrades on 12V Cummins trucks.
FAQ
Q: What is a pulse flow exhaust manifold?
A: A pulse flow manifold is designed to efficiently channel exhaust pulses to the turbo, improving spool time, airflow, and overall engine performance.
Q: Why choose a 3-piece manifold?
A: The 3-piece design allows for thermal expansion and reduces the risk of cracking compared to factory one-piece manifolds.
Q: What turbo flange does this manifold use?
A: This kit features a T4 turbo flange, making it compatible with a wide range of performance turbochargers.
Q: Does this kit include installation hardware?
A: Yes, this kit includes exhaust manifold gaskets and turbo mounting hardware for a complete installation.
