aFe BladeRunner Ported Ductile Iron Exhaust Manifold Dodge Ram 2500/3500 03-07 5.9L Cummins

The aFe BladeRunner exhaust manifold replaces factory units on 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with 5.9L Cummins diesel engines. Made from high-silicon molybdenum ductile iron this manifold outflows the stock unit by 23% to deliver quicker turbo spool-up improved throttle response and stronger performance across the powerband. Its ported design merged runners and thick walls prevent cracking and warping for long-term reliability.

Key Features
