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.\r\n\r\nWhy Your 24V Cummins Needs This Upgrade\r\n\r\nSecond-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.\r\n\r\nAdvanced Thermal Management\r\n\r\n24V 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.\r\n\r\nPrecision Engineering for Perfect Fit\r\n\r\nEvery 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.\r\n\r\nBuilt for Extreme Performance\r\n\r\nConstructed 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.\r\n\r\nProfessional Installation Made Simple\r\n\r\nDespite 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.\r\n\r\nPerformance You Can Measure\r\n\r\n20-25% increase in exhaust flow efficiency\r\nUp to 200°F reduction in exhaust gas temperatures\r\nFaster variable geometry turbo response and spool\r\nEnhanced fuel efficiency through improved exhaust scavenging\r\nIncreased towing capacity and hill-climbing performance\r\nSmoother idle and reduced engine noise\r\nCompatible with all aftermarket tuning and modifications\r\nComplete Compatibility Assurance\r\n\r\nSpecifically engineered for 1998.5-2002 Dodge Ram trucks equipped with the 5.9L 24V Cummins engine. Our precision manufacturing ensures perfect fitment with factory mounting points, gaskets, and exhaust systems across all production years and configurations.","brand":"Diesel Power Source","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52699970699551,"sku":"MAN0128 GAS0126","price":544.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/2195\/1519\/files\/MAN0128GAS0126-1.png?v=1784745006","url":"https:\/\/massdepot.com\/products\/diesel-power-source-t3-3-piece-exhaust-manifold-1998-2002-dodge-ram-5-9l-24v-cummins-high-flow-performance-lower-egts-direct-bolt-on-oem-5014170ac-5014170ad-5014170aa-5014170ab-3937188","provider":"Mass Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
