GM sells a LML exhaust manifold shipped to your door for $70(seventy dollars) that looks to be very similar as the BD Full Bore manifold for retails for $300+ minus shipping.
Am doing injectors & cups early next week. Replacing stock downpipe w/ MBRP and want to do the drivers side manifold at the same time.
It doesn't have the "dent" BD has and am hoping someone's done one successfully before I order it here.
i have one on my truck it bolts up just fine but i didnt have gauges before so i cant give you an egt before and after but i just wanted to get the restrictive stock one off imo its worth the $70 or $100 which is what i paid
You don't need gaskets use the old one... The LML is still a little pinched but not near as bad as stock, not as good as BD. For the price I'd go with LML
has anyone noticed an honest to god difference with this?? i really don't see a improvement to merit buying the manifold and installing it. how much do EGT's drop on that bank??
There is a Pretty drastic difference in internal volume on the LML piece over the others. It is a no brainier once you see the difference between the 2..............
GM Parts Direct: Your direct source for Genuine GM Parts pissed me off and I did NOT have a good buying experience there. I ordered that LML manifold a week ago Friday and after 8 days & 2 emails they finally shipped it out yesterday UPS freight. When you order their products, they only take Visa or MC, they require the purchase ship it to the address on the CC billing not another location like my diesel shop, you can NOT pay for overnight or expediting shipping and they hide their 7-10 day shipping terms in fine print not readily available at the time of purchase. If you've got time to wait, great but if you need that product, buy it elsewhere.
They have phenominal pricing, however, if you need it in a pinch or soon, buyer beware.
I haven't done it myself but I was just in there doing my downpipe and there is plenty of room around the manifold. I hope someone with a dyno does a before and after to see if there is any noticeable gains.
That's what I was wondering. Driver or passenger side? I've read both sides lol.
