In one word...Flow! 6.0's flow way more air than do the 6.4 manifolds. I know there are comparison photos around. 6.4's are a bad, choked off design.
Here is my setup.

6.0 exhaust manifolds?

Like Erik said !!
The 6.4 manifolds do not turn up where the up-pipes connect like 6.0 manifolds do . What has happened is the up-pipes will blow out in the elbow . The solution was just change to 6.0 's since they hold the heat better .
Here's a pic of stock 6.4 manifolds for comparison

Doesn't pressure also cause the 6.4 up-pipes to blow out?
I agree with this 100 percent
Thanks to thoughs of you who took the time to answer the question.
I run 6.0 manifolds on mine too for the reasons stated above

How bout you change the title to something better suited and make it better searchable? <--Is that a word?

First off... 6.0 manifolds have been brought up plenty of times on here for he 6.4, I can find them if you like. PSA is just starting out and we are very fortunate to have some of the minds that helped/built PSN.
Here is a pic of 6.0 manifolds on a 6.4 you will have to change 3 or 4 nuts on the driver side because ofthe brackets that held the EGR cooler

That would be great. I did some searching and couldn't come up with anything. Although this thread has been good so far. I'm doing this for a friend who's a little...umm...retarded with a computer. If you could throw me a few links on here, that would be swell. :thumbsup:

What info do you want? I haven't seen any flow numbers showing the differences yet. The reasons for the swap is the elbow where the up pipe turns up becomes cast with the 6.0 manifolds. The new up pipes have heavier duty bellows, a little more flex too. The 6.0 manifolds have a more open design as well. Hope this helps.

I would only get the threads they were mentioned on. Like dzchey said, high heat and pressure have taken out factory up-pipes being that it's a straight shot to the elbow. The 6.4 manifold has some weird casting due to making room for the brackets that hold the horizontal EGR coolers.
Like white monster said as well, The 6.0 manifold shows a more straight through design with the turn up to the up-pipe being cast (which I'm sure you know can handle a lot more heat then thicker metal, even with the nitrous). They are very tight with the A/C lines but some high heat sleeves and some maneuvering should clear pretty good.
