any one running AFE stainless exhaust manifold?

[Rollin Coal]

Retails for $500, seems to be a steal compared to the junk 3 piece manifolds.

Looks kind of cool in nothing else

i wish theyd make a 2nd gen one.

i've never ran one but we had the first one they made and i can tell you it is STOUT!

much higher quality than any other off the shelf manifold out there. it's a tank too.

they really haven't been out long enough imo to have any sort of 3rd party long term heat testing.

 

[Rollin Coal]

nice, i'd love to run one, im hoping someone comes to their mind and casts a 2nd gen one.

I have a cast stainless 2nd gen 12v manifold on my truck. Stainless Diesel makes them for 2nd gen trucks.. So someone does make them..

 

[Rollin Coal]

yeah, but isnt it $800??

 

[96C12V]

no....more like $650

 

[Rollin Coal]

listed on theyre site for 700/800+ shipping for t3/t4, either way, way too expensive.

 

[96C12V]

Must have been the list price then cuz i only payed $650. I will never buy another cast iron manifold for $500 that crack. For an extra $150, ya its worth it...I guess you get what you pay for!!

This is a one piece manifold?
Will these also shrink over time?

As far as 2nd Gen manifolds go I wish someone would make one with nice sweeping curves for the end cylinders like AFE's 3G one posted above. Seems unless you get a header the end cylinders on 2G manifolds take a sharp corner as soon as you leave the exhaust port.

Stainless Diesel makes them for 2nd gen trucks

They do not make one yet for a 12v though,24v's only last I called.

 

[96C12V]

Well I got a 12v Stainless diesel manifold. Ill post a pic later.

Here is mine.

Not sure about the AFE Manifold but the Stainless Diesel piece is made from the same stainless ALLOY that the stainless turbine housings are made from so far as I understand that. Therefore, cracking/shrinking etc. should not be an issue.

We just put one on a 6.7, there is no need to port except maybe the turbo flange. That thing should FLOW!!!!

We'll see how it holds up
