??? About 6.4 bd up pipe and manifold kit

Black_Pstroke · Sep 9, 2015

Thinking I have a blown up pipe bellow, I was told these were the way to go. Just trying to figure out a few things. The up pipes look nothing like the stock pipes, is an egr ****** also required with this kit? Or do I just need blocker plates?

BD kit del's that EGR pipe that is problematic and just keeps the manifold up pipes to the turbo. Yes EGR del will be required if you don't have it done already.

Only other question is can it be done cab on??

AllGo'N'Show · Sep 9, 2015

I've been told yes, it's a 'fun' job with cab on or off they say, haven't done it myself yet just eyeing the same pipes

I did mine cab on when I put my engine back in, so I had the manifolds already bolted to the heads when I sat them back down. Definitely going to be a massive pain in the ass to do cab on without pulling the heads but they say it can be done.

Keep in mind you have to mess with an AC line, I believe doing it "properly" requires evacuating the system, installing a spacer, and reassembling and recharging.

if you need some pricing on these let me know. be happy to get the set up out to you.

If you don't want to pull the cab, pull the transmission, life will be so much easier. Its not a bad job with the trans out.

Yes the BD kit comes with a spacer so you do need to open the AC system to install it. The spacer needs to be installed for the passenger side manifold to clear the AC lines coming out of the compressor.

doing this upgrade actually flows more? i know it prevents blow outs etc... surprisingly mine have lasted, but probly pulling my trans for a converter swap so i should do this while its out!!?

No. purely a reliability upgrade for the 6.0 style manifold.

yes it flows a little better. mainly done for longevity for blown bellows, cracked uppipes etc.

Black_Pstroke · Sep 9, 2015

Wow, kinda thinking now it might just be better to take it somewhere...

I doubt anybody has the data lol elite is about the only place I know of that flows stuff like this.

to the eye, the BD manifolds are MUCH larger internally and WAY more fluid than the factory 6.0 manifolds. i dont know this for sure because i havent had both. oh wait , i ... stayed at a holiday inn express last night.
