What kind of exhaust manifold does Dec use?
The DEC Exhaust Manifold with Integrated Catalytic Converter. Integrated exhaust manifolds we sell (shown, the Walker Exhaust Manifold with Integrated Catalytic Converter) are designed to match OEM equipment.
What should I do to my exhaust manifold?
Once it is roughed out, use progressively finer polishing wheels to smooth out any rough edges. Try to maintain as consistent of an opening as possible. After the manifold is done, move the gasket onto the cylinder head ports and see if any material needs to be removed there as well to match the exhaust manifold ports.
Can you replace an exhaust manifold with a catalytic converter?
If you’re looking for a replacement exhaust manifold, you may notice that the choices available for your specific vehicle are only available with an “integrated” catalytic converter. In the same way, a search for a replacement catalytic converter may only turn up “combination” converter/manifold products.
Where do you put the gasket on an exhaust manifold?
The edges of the holes in the gasket should come right up to the edge of the intake ports. Now place the same gasket over the holes on the manifold that mate up the engine’s exhaust ports.
What’s the best way to remove a broken exhaust manifold?
BrokenBolt.com also manufactures a kit specifically designed for the Cummins ISX engine. The Cummins ISX Broken Bolt Kit is specifically designed to remove broken exhaust manifold bolts on that ISX engine. Many industries are already using this new tool to solve their broken bolt problems.
What makes an exhaust manifold gasket work so well?
Exhaust manifold gaskets require metal beads where the gas passes through at very high temperatures and low pressure. These metal beads are always reinforced with metal sheets to resist the component movement that arises from large fluctuations in temperature.
What happens if you have an exhaust manifold leak?
These metal beads are always reinforced with metal sheets to resist the component movement that arises from large fluctuations in temperature. Leaks in the exhaust manifold produce bad exhaust values, a loss of power and increased fuel consumption. Loading…
