ENGINEERED TO ELIMINATE WARPING, CRACKING, BROKEN BOLTS, AND THE HEMI TICK

DODGE 2009-2024 HEMI EXHAUST MANIFOLDS

Fix the notorious HEMI tick with heavy-duty exhaust manifolds for 2009-2024 Dodge, Ram, and Jeep applications. BD's direct-fit 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI manifolds resist warping and cracking and are available as complete or single-side kits.

  • High-Silicon Ductile Iron

    High-silicon ductile iron resists heat-cycle fatigue and cracking.

  • Thicker Port Flanges

    Thicker port flanges add rigidity to prevent warping at the cylinder head.

  • Ball & Socket Collectors

    Ball-and-socket collectors accommodate expansion and contraction without stressing the manifold.

  • Complete & Single-Side Kits

    Full and single-side kits include the gaskets, bolts, and hardware needed for installation.

WHY FACTORY HEMI MANIFOLDS FAIL AND HOW BD SOLVES IT

Factory 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI manifolds are prone to warping and cracking after repeated heat cycles, which can break mounting bolts and create exhaust leaks, cold-start ticking, cabin fumes, and check-engine lights. BD manifolds use high-silicon ductile iron, thicker flanges and runners, and flexible ball-and-socket collector joints to resist thermal stress and maintain a durable, leak-free seal.

  • TICKING NOISE ON COLD START

    The well-known 'HEMI tick' is typically an exhaust leak at a warped manifold flange and may fade as the engine warms and the metal expands.

    The BD Difference

    Thicker, warp-resistant port flanges and high-silicon ductile iron maintain a flat, durable seal.

  • BROKEN MANIFOLD BOLTS

    Repeated heat cycles warp thin factory manifolds and place enough stress on the mounting bolts to stretch or break them.

    The BD Difference

    Stronger castings and complete hardware kits reduce thermal stress and replace failure-prone factory fasteners.

  • EXHAUST FUMES IN CABIN

    A cracked manifold or failed seal can release exhaust into the engine bay, where fumes may enter the cabin through the HVAC system.

    The BD Difference

    Precision-machined mating surfaces and new gaskets restore a secure, leak-free connection.

  • CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

    Leaks ahead of the oxygen sensors can disrupt air-fuel readings, reduce efficiency, and trigger diagnostic trouble codes.

    The BD Difference

    A properly sealed direct-fit manifold restores accurate exhaust flow past the oxygen sensors.

Why do the original HEMI exhaust manifolds fail so often?

Factory manifolds use thin-walled castings that struggle with repeated high-temperature heat cycles, causing the flanges to warp, the castings to crack, and mounting bolts to break over time.

Will these manifolds fix the 'HEMI tick'?

Yes. BD manifolds use thicker, warp-resistant flanges and durable high-silicon ductile iron to restore a reliable seal and eliminate exhaust leaks that cause the ticking sound.

Should I replace both manifolds at the same time?

Replacing both sides is recommended for a complete, preventative repair, but single-side kits are available when only one manifold has failed.

Do these kits include new gaskets and bolts?

Yes. Complete exhaust manifold kits include new gaskets, high-quality mounting bolts, and the spacers or related hardware required for installation.

Are BD's HEMI manifolds a direct-fit replacement?

Yes. They are engineered as direct bolt-on replacements using the original mounting locations for a straightforward installation.

What is the emissions status of these manifolds?

Emissions legality varies by application and location. Verify the emissions status for your specific vehicle on the product page before purchasing.
