6.7 Power Stroke Exhaust Manifold — 2015–2019 Fitment, Flow & Install Tips

Stop exhaust ticks and clamp-load loss with a thicker, hi-silicon ductile iron manifold set that’s designed to survive heat-soak, regen cycles, and heavy tow duty—while staying emissions compliant.

Exact Fitment & What’s Included

• Fitment: 2015–2019 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 6.7L Power Stroke (pickup & cab/chassis notes per product page).
• Includes: Left/Right exhaust manifolds (availability by kit/side), longest stud + spacer kit, manifold gaskets, crossover tube gasket, EGR port gasket, M8 stud install tool.
• Material & Finish: Hi-silicon ductile iron with ~0.275" thick walls; high-temp POR15 black coating; gasket-matched exhaust ports.
• Emissions: 50-state legal (CARB EO D-553-17). Warranty: 36 months / 75,000 miles.
• Install Time: ~9 hours (manifold pair). Professional install recommended; see torque sequence below.

Why The OEM Manifold Fails On 6.7L

• Heat-Cycle Warping: Thin castings see flange distortion after towing/regen cycles → leaks, ticks, slower turbo spool.
• Short Hardware: Shorter bolts/studs lose clamp load across uneven expansion; gaskets blow out over time.
• Port Mismatch: Poor alignment reduces flow and raises drive pressure under load.

BD’s Design: Materials, Hardware & Real-World Flow

• Thick-Wall Casting: ~75% thicker walls in hi-silicon ductile iron resist cracking and flange bowing.
• CFD & Gasket-Match: Average flow increase of ~8.1% per port (OEM avg ~169 cfm/port vs BD avg ~174 cfm/port).
• Longest Stud + Spacer Kit: Black-oxide spacers and longer studs keep clamp load through heat cycles.
• High-Temp Coating: POR15 black helps the manifold resist corrosion over time.

Install Notes & Torque Pattern

1. Disconnect batteries; remove shields, CAC plumbing, lines as needed. Soak fasteners in advance.
2. Clean head surfaces thoroughly. Place gaskets and hang the manifold on the studs.
3. Torque from the center out in stages to factory spec. Re-install shields and lines; verify clearances.
4. Re-torque after one full heat cycle.
5. Special note: Trucks using the MPD budget SXE turbo kit must use BD part 1043006 with an OEM passenger side manifold.

FAQs

Is this 50-state legal? Yes—CARB EO D-553-17. Keep EGR intact and follow install instructions.

What gaskets/hardware are included? Manifold, crossover tube, and EGR port gaskets, plus longer studs and spacers (see product page for exact contents).

How long does install take? About 9 hours for both sides. Soak fasteners early and plan a re-torque after the first heat cycle.
