ATS Diesel 1994 - Early 98 Dodge 5.9L 12-Valve Cummins 3pc T3 PulseFlow Exhaust Manifold
Upgrade your Dodge Ram with the ATS Diesel 3-piece T3 PulseFlow Exhaust Manifold designed specifically for 1994 to early 1998 5.9L 12-valve Cummins engines in Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks.
This manifold uses PulseFlow technology to preserve exhaust pulse energy for faster turbo spool-up and lower exhaust gas temperatures. It delivers better exhaust flow over stock tubular manifolds while handling extreme heat.
Key Features
- PulseFlow Design: Retains exhaust pulse separation to improve turbo response and reduce EGTs by 150-300 degrees F compared to stock manifolds
- High-Silicon Molybdenum Cast Iron: Withstands continuous temperatures up to 1400 degrees F with thick walls for durability under high boost
- 3-Piece Construction: Bolts together for straightforward installation without welding or cutting fits tight engine bays easily
- T3 Divided Flange: Matches stock turbo housing for direct bolt-on compatibility supports twin-scroll turbo performance
- Finite Element Analysis Engineering: Optimized internal geometry maximizes exhaust velocity and scavenging for power gains across RPM range
Product Notes
- Inspect turbo mounting flange during install for proper alignment
- Use high-temp RTV sealant on mating surfaces for leak-free seal
- Ships freight ground due to size professional handling required
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Remove stock manifold and up-pipe reuse factory hardware where possible
- Bolts directly to factory turbocharger and up-pipe no modifications needed
