6.7 Power Stroke Exhaust Manifold — 2011–2016 Fitment, Flow and Install Tips

Quiet the cold start tick, stop clamp-load loss, and recover turbo response with BD’s thick-wall, hi-silicon ductile iron manifold set engineered for the early Scorpion 6.7L.

Exact Fitment and What Is Included

• Fitment: 2011–2016 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 Super Duty with 6.7L Power Stroke.
• Included: Manifold kit with hi-silicon ductile iron castings, longest stud and spacer hardware, exhaust manifold gaskets, cross-over tube gasket, EGR port gasket.
• Material and Finish: Thick-wall ductile iron casting with machined thicker bolting flange and high temperature POR15 black coating.
• Emissions: 50-state legal under CARB EO D-553-17. Warranty: 36 months or 75,000 miles.
• Install Time: About 9 hours for the pair. Professional installation recommended.

Why The OEM Manifold Fails On 2011–2016 6.7L

• Heat-cycle warping: Thin castings and flanges bow after towing and regen heat, causing exhaust leaks and a tell-tale tick.
• Short hardware: Short bolts lose clamp load as the manifold expands and contracts, which accelerates gasket failure.
• Port mismatch: Uneven port alignment raises drive pressure and slows spool under load.

BD’s Design: Thick-Wall Casting, Hardware, and Real Flow Gains

• Thick-wall hi-silicon ductile iron: About 75% thicker walls to resist cracking and flange bowing over long service life.
• CFD and port work: Average flow increase of about 9.3% per port versus OEM baselines (173 cfm to 189 cfm average).
• Longest stud and spacer kit: Black oxide spacers and longer studs maintain clamp load across heat cycles.
• Fully EGR compatible: Includes EGR port gasket and remains emissions compliant.
• High-temp coating: POR15 black coating for durability and corrosion resistance.

Install Notes and Torque Pattern

1. Preparation: Disconnect batteries. Soak fasteners. Remove shields, CAC plumbing, and lines as needed for access.
2. Surface prep: Clean cylinder head gasket surfaces thoroughly. Dry fit to confirm alignment.
3. Hardware: Use the supplied longer studs and spacers. Hang the manifold on the studs with new gaskets in place.
4. Tightening sequence: Start at the center fasteners and work outward in stages to factory torque. Follow OE spec for final values.
5. Heat-cycle re-torque: After one full heat cycle, re-check fasteners to ensure long-term seal integrity.
6. Special note: Trucks using the MPD budget SXE turbo kit must use BD part number 1043006 with an OEM passenger side manifold.

Compare vs OEM

FAQs

Is this kit 50-state legal? Yes. It is covered by CARB EO D-553-17. Keep EGR equipment intact and install as directed.

Do I need extra gaskets or hardware? The kit includes manifold, cross-over tube, and EGR port gaskets plus the longer stud and spacer hardware.

How long is the install? Plan about 9 hours for both sides on a Super Duty. Soak fasteners and allocate time for a post-heat re-torque.
