Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1048001 CAT T6 Exhaust Manifold is a heavy-duty performance manifold engineered for 1993–1998 Caterpillar 3406E and 1999–2003 Caterpillar C15 Non-ACERT engines using a T6 turbo mount. If you’re upgrading your turbocharger or replacing a cracked OEM manifold, this Roadmaster-style manifold is designed to improve durability, reduce downtime, and deliver consistent performance under heavy commercial loads.
Constructed from thick-wall high-silicon ductile iron, this manifold is built to handle extreme heat cycles and high exhaust temperatures common in working applications. The 3-piece design helps prevent cracking and warping while supporting improved serviceability. The T6 mount allows compatibility with a wide range of popular turbocharger upgrades for CAT 3406E and C15 platforms.
