It is on a 3rd gen, but it is still really cool.

Another view

On the truck

In Cermichrome

The inside transitions

What I found it on

No I do not make these, I just came across them at an off road expo and thought it was really cool. :grin:

No external wastegate provisions?

What a piece of crap. :lol:

Funny, I thought well where do I put the Primary now?

There was some build where a guy put a p-pumped Cummins in a suburban around a while back. He made a custom header for it and it looked a lot like that. His build was on one of the Cummins-conversion sites. He showed how he built the header, it was sick!

Looks like a great way to take up space and build heat in the engine compartment! :roll:

The polished one looks a lot more organized. Other than that, they look crappy! There is a company making them that look straight and nice, but go for about $1k

There was a big thread on TDR about those. Guy was looking for interest in building them. He did a lotta testing. Nobody had much faith in how long they would work before they broke. :shock:

Someone finally labled the "passenger" side of the truck, that ought to clear up alot of confusion! ;-)

yeah i was really confused at what side the ex manifold mounted on but that solves my mystery :rock:

it ain't going to last very long at all! with the volume of heat energy and the 600-1200+ degree fairly rapid heat cycles the tubing just can't hold up. tubing barely holds up on small block twin turbos before they crack out. and like Mike mentioned, you get to use heat energy to melt plastic stuff instead of drive the turbine! awesome!

I'd love to have one just for the :2cool:

factor. Open the hood, everybody goes :hs:

I just don't like the idea of spending $1k and being in the middle of Indiana in 3-4 years and have the manifold break off! :shock:

From what I understood from the guys that I talked to those manifolds were designed for the Kore race team to run the BAJA 1000. If they last 1000 miles like that, I think they would last a life time on any of our trucks. Passenger is the name of the company that designed / manufactured them. Iirc the full name was Passenger Thermodynamic Engineering.

I dunno if they would crack that quick, I picked the black one up at the show (didn't want to get fingerprints on there nice shinny one) and it must have been fairly thick wall tubing as it must have weighed 50lbs+

The KORE trucks don't heat and cool all that many times. They get hot and stay pretty hot until they're done. It does look pretty trick though.

Pete:

The whole thing would not break off :roll:

probably just the turbo so it would take you 18 hrs. to get home! ;-)
