Description
Unleash Your 24V Cummins Potential with Professional-Grade Engineering
The Diesel Power Source T3 3-Piece Exhaust Manifold represents the ultimate upgrade for your 1998.5-2002 Dodge Ram 5.9L 24V Cummins. Engineered specifically for the higher-performance demands of second-generation Cummins engines, this manifold delivers measurable improvements in power, efficiency, and thermal management that 24V owners demand.
Why Your 24V Cummins Needs This Upgrade
Second-generation Cummins engines are known for their performance potential, but the restrictive factory exhaust manifold limits that capability. Our innovative T3 3-piece design eliminates bottlenecks in exhaust flow, reducing backpressure by up to 30% and allowing your variable geometry turbocharger to operate at peak efficiency. The result? Dramatic improvements in throttle response, pulling power, and overall engine performance.
Advanced Thermal Management
24V Cummins engines run significantly hotter than their 12V predecessors, making thermal management critical for longevity. Our advanced casting design creates optimized exhaust flow patterns that reduce exhaust gas temperatures by up to 200°F under heavy load conditions. This temperature reduction protects your turbocharger, extends engine life, and provides crucial safety margins during towing and performance driving.
Precision Engineering for Perfect Fit
Every manifold is precision-cast and machined to exact OEM specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with all 1998.5-2002 24V Cummins applications. Our manifold directly replaces OEM parts 5014170AC, 5014170AD, 5014170AA, 5014170AB, and 3937187, covering all production variations and ensuring you get the right fit every time.
Built for Extreme Performance
Constructed from high-grade cast iron with superior metallurgy, this manifold withstands the extreme temperatures and pressures of modified 24V engines. The precision-machined flanges create leak-proof seals that eliminate the cracking and warping issues common with factory manifolds, even under aggressive tuning and heavy-duty applications.
Professional Installation Made Simple
Despite the performance gains, installation remains straightforward with our complete hardware kit and detailed instructions. The direct bolt-on design requires no cutting, welding, or modifications to your truck. Most customers complete installation in 2-4 hours using standard hand tools, making this a perfect weekend upgrade project.
