How does this kit stop my Ram's exhaust manifolds from leaking and ticking?

This kit permanently fixes the common 5.7L HEMI exhaust leak by addressing the original design's weak points. It uses stronger materials and upgraded hardware that can withstand the engine's high heat cycles without failing. This stops the exhaust leak that causes the notorious 'HEMI tick'. — The factory manifolds often fail when the stock mounting bolts break under repeated thermal expansion and contraction. Our kit solves this with a multi-part solution: — • Upgraded Hardware: We include longer fasteners and standalone spacers, which allow the manifold to expand and contract without stretching and breaking the bolts. • Superior Material: The manifolds are cast from high-silicon ductile iron, which is much more resistant to warping and cracking than the OEM material. • Thicker Construction: The manifold walls are designed to be thicker and more uniform, which increases overall strength and helps dissipate heat more effectively. • Improved Design: The heat shield's mounting points are engineered to be independent of the manifold's main mounting bolts, removing another common failure point.

Will this manifold kit fit my 2022 Ram 1500 5.7L?

Yes, this kit will fit. It is designed for 2009-2024 Ram 1500 models with the 5.7L HEMI engine, but note that for model years 2019-2024, it fits the DS or 'Classic' body style only. The kit also fits 2009-2018 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 5.7L HEMI. — This exhaust manifold kit offers broad compatibility for Ram trucks equipped with the 5.7L HEMI. Before ordering, please confirm your specific model year and body style falls within these ranges: — • Ram 1500: 2009–2018 • Ram 1500 Classic (DS Body): 2019–2024 • Ram 2500: 2009–2018 • Ram 3500: 2009–2018 The complete kit including both manifolds is part number 1041463. Ensure you have the 5.7L HEMI engine, as this kit is not compatible with other powertrains.

What comes in the complete exhaust manifold kit?

The complete kit, BD Diesel part number 1041463, includes everything needed to replace both factory exhaust manifolds. It contains both the driver's and passenger's side manifolds, new gaskets, and all required installation hardware. — Inside the box for kit 1041463, you will find a comprehensive set of components for a full, upgraded replacement. This isn't just the manifolds themselves; it's a complete engineered solution. The contents include: — • One Right (Passenger Side) High-Silicon Ductile Iron Exhaust Manifold (also sold separately as PN 1041464) • One Left (Driver Side) High-Silicon Ductile Iron Exhaust Manifold (also sold separately as PN 1041465) • A full set of new manifold-to-head gaskets. • All necessary longer installation bolts and spacers designed to handle thermal expansion.

How difficult is it to install these manifolds?

The estimated installation time is approximately 4.5 hours for a professional technician. While the BD manifold kit is a direct bolt-on replacement, the most time-consuming and difficult part of the job is often the removal of broken factory manifold studs from the cylinder head. — The installation process itself is straightforward, but it requires patience and the right tools, especially for stud extraction. The basic steps involve removing the factory manifolds and heat shields, carefully extracting any broken studs from the cylinder heads, cleaning the gasket surfaces, and then installing the new BD manifolds. The key difference is the use of the supplied longer bolts and spacers, which are critical to the system's longevity. Be prepared with stud extractors, penetrating oil, and possibly a right-angle drill, as broken bolts are the most common reason for this repair in the first place.

Can I buy just the passenger side manifold?

Yes, you can purchase the manifolds individually. Part number 1041464 is for the right (passenger) side only, and part number 1041465 is for the left (driver) side. The complete kit with both sides is part number 1041463. — While replacing only the one failed side is an option, it's important to recognize that the factory manifolds on both sides of the engine are susceptible to the same design flaw. The original bolts will likely fail on the other side eventually. For a permanent, one-time repair, we strongly recommend installing the complete kit (PN 1041463) that replaces both manifolds simultaneously. This ensures the entire system is upgraded with BD's superior high-silicon ductile iron castings and longer fastener/spacer hardware, providing long-term reliability and preventing future leaks.

What are the BD Diesel manifolds made of compared to the stock ones?

Our manifolds are constructed from high-silicon ductile iron, a material significantly more durable and resistant to heat-induced warping than the material used for the factory manifolds. This robust construction, featuring thick, uniform walls, is a primary defense against the cracking and leaking issues common with the OEM parts. — The choice of high-silicon ductile iron directly addresses the failure point of the stock components. This material provides superior thermal stability, meaning it can endure countless heating and cooling cycles without distorting. Combined with our design's thicker walls for increased strength and better heat dissipation, and an independent mounting location for the heat shield, the result is a manifold that holds its shape and maintains a perfect seal to the cylinder head for years, even under heavy towing conditions.

Why are the longer fasteners and spacers important?

The included longer fasteners and spacers are designed to better withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles that commonly cause factory HEMI manifold bolts to break.

What is the benefit of the independent heat shield mounting design?

Unlike the factory design, the heat shield mounts independently of the manifold bolts. Separating these components reduces stress on the fasteners and further improves long-term reliability.

Is this manifold recommended for trucks that tow?

Absolutely. Frequent towing increases exhaust temperatures and thermal cycling, making manifold failures more common. The BD Diesel design is engineered to better withstand these demanding conditions.

Do these manifolds require tuning?

No. These manifolds are a direct replacement and do not require ECU tuning.
