DPS 2-Piece 3rd Gen Cummins Exhaust Manifold for 2003–2007 5.9L Dodge Cummins T3
CARB Exempt – Legal for Street Use in California
The DPS 2-piece exhaust manifold is the best exhaust manifold for Dodge Cummins 5.9 Diesel 2003–2007 common rail engines. Made from high nickel moly-bendum ductile iron, this manifold is built to handle extreme heat while improving performance, airflow, and reliability.
