BD Power Exhaust Brake and TapShifter (03-07 6.0L Powerstroke F-350 Super Duty)

Solid

Nice feels heavy duty hopefully the bolts hold and don’t snap

The Right Manifold

Replaced the manufacturer recommended part twice before this product. Ford should have done the part right from the start. It does take some work to replace the manifold as it is behind the turbos and air lines and needs to be accessed from the wheel well. Can be done fairly easily by a home mechanic.

Coming together nice!

buying in AmericanTrucks is no hassle! delivery was on time and is fitting perfectly. The original parts have a design issue which eventually will brake and make noise and create inefficiencies. These are reinforced and have a SS plate which helps on the temp...

Solid upgrade

Had a exhoust ever since I towed a trailed 3k miles. Never realized what that did for my fuel economy. As time went by it got louder and started whistling. Long story short found out Ford didn't use enough bolts. Theses manifolds use 2 or three more bolts. Can't quite remember. I had to run a tap into each of the stud holes to start. After that easy peese.

Solid Header!

I was able to grab this "Used" for a great discount, and AT doesn't dissapoint. Item looks great with all the hardware and the gasket. This a worthwhile fix to the dredded Hemi exhaust leak. This path was a no brainer with the price and reviews.

Perfect Fit

These manifolds were a perfect fit, utilizing 11 studs to prevent warping.

Better than oem

I used to work for a ford dealer and did many exhaust manifold replacements. The oem ones always cracks and/or had a broken back stud. I now only do side work and have installed 2 of these kits (one 2012 and one 2016). These kits have a thicker flange and provide better mounting methods by providing a longer stud with a spacer. If I do more of exhaust manifolds I will always buy this kit. Cons are starting the new studs can be tricky. They are straight cut instead of tapered at the bottom. I always chase the threads with a thread repair tap, not a thread cutting tap. That eases installing the studs. Provided is a stud install tool in the spacers bag. I didn't find that until I had one side of the studs already done. Putting in the front lower stud on the passenger side you will need to loosen the ac compressor and move out of the way slightly, which is pretty easy. Alot of pros with few cons. Great kit will use again.

Very Nice Manifolds

These bad boys are built tuff! Way better than factory stuff! I would get a professional with a lift to do this job. I seen the videos on YouTube but it's alot harder than it looks! Do yourself a favor...pay someone you trust to do it while you relax.

Excellent

Great product. Packed excellent. Great fit. Very pleased.

Way better than stock

Replaced stock manifolds with these. Much better as far as construction and they seem stronger and more durable. Uses all holes and offers more support for the turbo.
