4500 manifolds and up pipes

[quadracer37]

where is the best place to find these??

 

[Burn Down]

I got the up pipes off of ebay & the manifolds from Tony Burkhard All Season Diesel Performance. Might give him a call and see if he has another set. His info is in the Vendor section.

Whats the difference?

kodiak up-pipes and manifolds are bigger/higher flowing.

No, they will not work with a single turbo; twins only. They are too big to allow a [single turbo] downpipe to it.

i know more than a couple guys running them with a single charger

 

[guytonLBZ]

how much more do they flow than a stock set exactly? and theyll work with the 2500 series?

I don't doubt it can be done but it would take some creativity to get a workable downpipe.

OK I should have been more specific...of course it can be made to work...anything can be made/modified/built to work...

But for all the guys with a stock turbo or aftermarket turbos who arent into building totally custom one-off downpipes and stuff, but want a simple/cheap/bolt-on set of higher flowing manifolds, they wont work...

Anyone have pictures of how far the kodiak up pipes come off the turbo pedestal?

or just pics in general of these compared to stock 2500s?

The manifolds & up-pipes are not bigger, however they are not pinched down like the stockers. Jordan I'll take some pictures of the up pipes in the truck tonight when I get home for you. Something else, you will have relieve the cab by the throttle pedal the drivers manifold hits the cab there.

What did you do with the dipstick tube on the passenger's side?

 

[Burn Down]

I left both in the stock location. The engine oil stick is tight against the manifold but it fit & the stick pulls out just fine. Transmission stick is fine clears with no problems.

Jordan,
These pics are hard to see not sure if it will help or not.

I'm really surprised it worked for you. I had Kodiak manifolds on my built motor, but I modified my dipstick because it was so tight. I didn't think it would work. How much did it crush the dipstick tube?

 

[Burn Down]

It is tight but it is not crushed at all, or I wouldn't be able pull the stick so easy...

You can run the driver side with the stock turbo. I did with my lbz. I got the whole set cheaper than just a bd manifold. You do have to do a little modification to the fire wall but only takes about 20 minutes to do it.

 

[05smoker]

I paid $140 for just the manifolds.

Mine are just turned forward.:thumb:

 

[408.Luke]

does running just the driver side perform better than the bd manifold? id probably run both with a new down pipe though. still would be nice to know
