Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the BD High Flow Max Manifold for GMC/Chevrolet Duramax vehicles.
As you can see by the large dent in the stock manifold, there is a sizeable restriction in the flow of the exhaust. The BD High Flow Max Manifold eliminates this restriction, allowing the full flow of exhaust to be pushed out faster, lowering EGT’s.
