Casting-Out Weakness And Restriction With ATS PulseFlow Exhaust Manifolds

ATS Diesel Manifolds Provide Superior Airflow And Prevent Cracking And Overheating

June 14, 2011 - PRLog -- One of the base components needed for a successful diesel truck upgrade path, that is often overlooked, is the exhaust manifold. Truck owners may simply upgrade the exhaust tubing itself to a larger size, not realizing that airflow restriction is happening before the exhaust gasses even reach that point. The cast exhaust manifolds available from ATS Diesel are a great way to expand airflow and reduce restriction while eliminating the weak spots which are found with the stock exhaust manifolds.

As the diesel engine performs its job, the temperature of the exhaust manifold sees rapid shifts from hot to cool, and the metal experiences a substantial amount of expansion and contraction. Due to a thinner wall structure and lower-grade materials used for casting on such a large scale, the heating and cooling cycles eventually cause the factory manifold to crack. Once the manifold is cracked, the exhaust gasses which power the turbo begin to escape and cause inefficiency. ATS Diesel’s exhaust manifolds are cast from an exclusively blended High-Silicon-Moly (or SiMo Ductile) metal alloy, which offers much greater strength and heat resistance, due to increased stability of the material’s microstructure versus other alternatives.

In addition to having larger mandrel-shaped internal ports for increased airflow and reduced back-pressure, the ATS manifolds feature a special multi-piece design in which the sections are connected by a ball flange, which allows the manifold to expand and contract during engine heat cycles, without cracking or breaking (which becomes even more important with engine power upgrades - due to increased hot/cold temperature differentials).
