Direct-fit for 2009–2024 Ram 1500 DS, 2009–2018 Ram 2500 DJ, 2013–2018 Ram 3500 D2, and 2011–2015 Ram 3500 DC equipped with 5.7L HEMI engines. The 5.7L HEMI engine generates extreme exhaust gas temperatures, causing the factory cast-iron manifolds to undergo rapid, severe thermal expansion and contraction. Because the OEM mounting design restricts this natural movement, the rear manifold bolts experience excessive shear stress, eventually snapping off flush with the cylinder head, creating a highly audible exhaust tick and compromising the exhaust gasket seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009–2024 Dodge Ram 1500 (DS body style) 5.7L HEMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009–2018 Dodge Ram 2500 (DJ chassis) 5.7L HEMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2013–2018 Dodge Ram 3500 (D2 chassis) 5.7L HEMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011–2015 Dodge Ram 3500 (DC chassis) 5.7L HEMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-silicon ductile iron construction, vastly improving the material's yield strength and thermal fatigue resistance compared to stock components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thicker flange and thicker runner wall design further guarantee resistance to heat distortion and warping under heavy engine load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastening System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extended fasteners paired with precision-engineered spacers allow the manifold to thermally expand and contract without transferring shear load to the bolt heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Shield:\u003c\/strong\u003e The heat shield features independent mounting locations, entirely isolating it from the main manifold-to-head fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comes with all new bolts, nuts, spacers, and gaskets for a hassle-free installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e For 2019+ 1500 models, verify the 6th VIN digit is 6 or 7 (DS model).
