In this series I'll be replacing the driver side exhaust manifold with a new BD Power Full Bore exhaust manifold. The stock version has a 20% pinch down point at cylinder 3 that was originally designed to clear the steering column which they later found out was not necessary. If you have an older model Duramax you can either get one of these BD Full Bore or you can get a stock LMM driver side manifold and put that on instead. Stay tuned because in the next episode we are removing the turbo, then rebuilt, port & polish it as well as finish up port & polishing the manifolds and up pipes!
