Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1045987-T4 Exhaust Manifold with T4 Flange is the ideal solution for Cummins owners who want to upgrade to a T4 frame turbocharger while keeping the turbo in the factory stock location. Designed for 2003–2007 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L Cummins, this manifold features a divided pulse design to improve exhaust energy delivery to the turbo, helping with quicker spool-up, better airflow, and improved drivability under load.
Unlike factory manifolds that commonly crack or leak, this BD Diesel manifold is built from high-silicon ductile iron to withstand extreme heat cycles and vibration. The multi-piece design with precision expansion joints allows controlled expansion and contraction, reducing thermal stress and significantly improving long-term durability. If you’re installing a BorgWarner SX-E T4, S300/S400 style T4 turbo, or stepping up in airflow, this manifold keeps the install clean without moving the turbo or reworking your entire engine bay.
