Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1046068 Exhaust Manifold Kit is a heavy-duty upgrade built specifically for 2013–2018 Ram 3500/4500/5500 Cab & Chassis trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins and HE351 turbo mounting configuration. If you’re dealing with cracked manifolds, exhaust leaks, broken bolts, or repeated gasket failures, this BD Diesel manifold kit is designed to handle extreme temperature cycling and vibration—especially under commercial and towing use.
This kit features a fully divided pulse manifold cast from high-silicon ductile iron with a thick-wall design that resists cracking and warping. Built-in precision slip joints allow the manifold to expand and contract, reducing thermal fatigue and helping prevent recurring leaks. For a complete install, this kit includes the required gaskets, bolts, spacers, and is pre-drilled for pyrometer probes.

Does this kit include gaskets and installation hardware?
Yes. This manifold kit includes gaskets, bolts, and spacers required for installation.
Why is a slip-joint manifold better than stock?
Slip joints allow expansion and contraction during heat cycles, reducing stress and helping prevent cracking and exhaust leaks that commonly occur on rigid factory manifolds.
Is this manifold pre-drilled for pyrometer probes?
Yes. The manifold is pre-drilled to support pyrometer probe installation.
