Huge thanks to everyone watching the channel! Let me know what you guys think about the new upgrade!
watched this vid 4 times so far just to hear the thing drive with the whistle. lol i dont have a duramax at the moment but it makes me want to do a hotside kit, intercooler, and a bigger turbo with head studs on my 7.3. any amounts of whistle is amazing and even straight piping it helped but now i want more lol
Thanks!
Panic attack thinking about doing a job like that.
@@hanford_adventures for more whistle on a 7.3 a upgraded turbo and a straight pipe are about as much as you can do
@@KoltFin yeah. Wanting a BW275
One of things I really like about your channel is you’re not boring to listen to talk fluently no long drawn out storytelling I like it you doing a good job
I really appreciate it Kyle
Recently bought my first duramax... your videos have helped me tremendously to increase my knowledge on these trucks love the videos
Thanks 🙏
Sir, I've seen SEVERAL of your videos lately.I can't thank you enough for the help you're providing us viewers.I was afraid to do much myself since my experience with diesels is very limited versus gas burners.Thanks to the step by step,in depth details your content gives,I'm now confident I can save money and get to know my truck much better by doing more upgrades in my own shop myself.I appreciate the effort and time you're obviously taking to help us learn.
And also,more than all,I salute you for the freedom we enjoy.May GOD bless you and all who help you, especially your wife.
Thanks Brannon
A big thank you for your video! Just a couple of pro tips: You will need a 3/8 torque wrench that pivots (Harbor Frieght ICON) and at least one extended 8mm hex head socket cut to size to get all the hex head bolts properly torqued to "42" POUND FEET not 50. You are bolting into aluminum heads, so be careful.
Remove your front tires.
I read another comment about jacking up the engine and trans... That's a great idea. The frame rails are so close to the manifolds that it makes it hard to get to get to the bottom bolts.
I got the exact same kit. I got one side all out just need to remove the driver side. I’m glad I also went with the Ppe down pipe. Maybe a little trick for anyone tackling this not so fun job is to remove the two trans crossmember bolts an put something to distribute the load over a jack under the trans pan and jack it up until the top just touches the floor and get yourself an extra 1-3 inches back there. Makes a big difference IMO as any guy or girl knows a little extra in the right spot means a world of difference! 😉 Happy New Years from KS 👍🏽
I’ve been getting into watching a bunch of informational videos about Duramax & Powerstrokes. I like yours the most because you’re just aDuramax guy. One of my best friends is a classic Chevy guy. I remember the first Duramax & Allison I drove 20 years ago. Super impressed then & they’ve only gotten better across the & board & technology is skyrocketing. You’re the most down to earth, diesel guy I’ve found. And honestly nobody else has a Wifemax & her truck is cool too. Tomorrow morning I’m getting the muffler & flapper valve deleted on my LTZ Silverado. I have a Mustang too but the Silverado is way nicer to drive everyday. Keep up the good work
Thanks Norman and good luck with everything
Great video. May have to add that to the list. I have my HSP traction bars. But about to tackle the input seals on the axle and yoke before I put them on. They have started to seep gear oil out at the yoke.
Thank you for all your video's. My 2005 LLY is a work horse. I can not believe how much difference these upgrades have made for power / torque and surprisingly, MILEAGE..
Huge thanks go to you I got a 2003 lb7 that I'm building. Your videos have been helping me tremendously. I'm defiantly getting this set up I run a hood stack on my truck always worried about my heat messing up gaskets and wire connections.
Can’t wait to see where u go in 2021. Great vid to start off the year. Happy New Years to you and your fam. God bless!
Thanks Danny
I always watch your videos to for future upgrades for my ‘05 LLY. I just recently installed the hsp y bridge and I’m loving it.
That’s awesome!
Happy New Year bud!! Can’t wait to see what this years truck scene will have in store for us.
Thanks PPE is installing a set on my 2004 LLY As we speak.
Happy New Year awesome video!!
Incredible, I was JUST talking about this topic today as I had my trans out in exchange for a stage 5. Great video and timing as always 👏🤣
Thanks Shawn and definitely a awesome addition to your build
@@GMCJay_lly beautiful stuff man, iv had my eye on those for years now 🤣
Just getting into my LML, def a great and am gratefull that you on youtube.
Stephen Cox has a pretty good video on removing manifold bolts.
Happy New Year guys!
Good to know! Thanks
Happy New Year! Great Job and vid content! I got my 68mm RDS turbo, now looking for new manifolds, up pipes, and down pipe.
It’s a awesome setup 👍
What model year did you purchase from ppe to make sure that the passenger side up pipe didnt have EGR on it?? LLY? LB7 (it appears there is 2 of these)? Thanx. :)
I bought the same kit for my build. Lots of people say they’re not worth it but looking at the stock manifolds I can’t see why they can’t be a huge upgrade! Great video 👍🏻
It’s worth it
Are they the lb7 style
Happy New Year truckmaster an family. Great video my dude
I feel your pain on the “it’s not a hard job but very frustrating and time consuming!” Comment LOL. Great video for others in the future!!
Roger that 👍
Jesus loves you all, you should turn to him while you still have time.
@@Ryan-vi8wi amen to that
great video man im glad to see the duramax again im getting ready to go buy one so im going to start going over your videos again a researching the lbzs out im excited cant wait to get mine finally
Awesome! Hope you get a good one 👍
thank you im nervous about it im going to take my time and research your videos ive had many gas chevy trucks but really want a diesel i appreciate you and your channel thanks
I did up pipes and manifolds and I totally noticed a huge difference in pick up. Truck is fast as hell with them
👍
Great video happy new year to all.
Nice video !
Happy new year guys 🤘🏻
Thanks!
Last mod before I sell my LBZ. Thanks for all the help with your vids. Ill miss em for sure!
Definitely on my list now!
Yes heater is a must
Happy new year !!🎆🎈🎊
Happy New Year 🎊
If the manifolds are coated the exterior temp isn't an accurate comparison.
Annnddddd....bingo.
Should have measured at the up pipe bend.
Wouldn’t it disburse less heat into the engine bay?
The first 10 seconds of the video he tells you that
@@reel_moments.outdoors no shit
Hey Josh thanks for your videos they help a lot. Love the detail you put into your installs. I have a question. Back in February of 2018 you done a video for a manifold and up pipe. I was wanting to install the same parts but could not find your part number. I have an 06 GMC with the LBZ. I have 4” exhaust a single stage tune, the pcv delete and egr delete. It has 370000 miles on it. My bellows cracked on my up pipe. So I wanted to put the same thing you installed on mine, I do have a new 3” down pipe to install at the same time. Mine is an everyday driver and I don’t do any racing or very heavy pulling. So would appreciate the info on what you used unless you recommend something else, thanks in advance!
Many thanks for all your videos they really help. You have become an inspiration to us all and a trouble maker as well in the sense that now we want to do the same.
Question? what's the part number for that kit. I have an LBZ as well with a deleted EGR on my "off road"
Thanks! I’m not to sure on the part number but the kit will come right up when you put your truck specs in the ppe website
Fortunately I’m doing a cab swap on my 05 Duramax and going to do the manifold update then Love the channel 👍🏻
Lots of work but you got this 👍
This is just a thought I like using anti seize on manifold bolts as well as other ones just a thought. I know other people are making comments about your heat source you can put a coil inside your garage off your out
side central boiler it's like having free Heat.
I use a kerosene heater but I really need to insulate that building
@@TruckMaster you can have the Amish come down and Spray Foam your garage you'll be able to heat it with a candle
I saw a huge change in egts with just the full size down pipe then anything I’ve done
Beautiful truck brother sounds like a fighter jet 💪 happy new year
Happy new year’s!
Hell yeah Happy New Year's from the Broussard family!!!
👋
@@TruckMaster 👍🏻
Enjoy watching your vids man. Keep them comin 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks!
Nice work TM!!💪
Manifold ARP studs next video?!!😁
I will definitely get to it
Very informative, looks to be worth the upfit.
Yeah that’s definitely an awesome upgrade I might have to do it myself now 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏼💪🏻
Love the videos man! what's the likely hood of snapping one of the bolts off in the turbo? Also just have to say literally anything is better than wd. its not actually penetrant. Free all is the bomb.
Because of you and dark iron diesel I deleted my truck and put a lot of new pipes on thanks I am a regular guy actually never did a oil change before and also did a lift pump
Love your videos man! I bought a LLY Duramax a year and a half ago and definitely got the upgrade bug! Do you still have a coupon code for PPE? Going to order their manifolds and up pipes here soon.
It’ll optimize your setup. Probably like headers on anything else.. Won’t completely notice it till the upper RPMs and it howls. 😎
You should do an outside sound clip comparison, how big is the sound difference?
Also I wanted to to tell you they make a set of easy out strip sockets. I promise get a set it will change your outlook on stick bolts
I think that was a very worthwhile upgrade.
They make a stud remover folks! Works like a charm with a half inch breaker bar
Have you ever considered wrapping your exhaust manifolds and up pipes to Make your Turbo more efficient
Great video ! have you tried a great penetrating oil that is home made ? Mix pure full synthetic transmission fluid with equal part of acetone, works great !
Put them on mine about 6 months ago 😉
Put these on my 2014 lml a while back and it sucked but it was worth it! Looks like they started coating them also mine completely rusted in a few days
I’m interested to see how long this coating lasts
Have you added an egt probe since installing these?
With the coating I’d think the more fair temp gun reading would have been on the up pipe just as it exits the manifold. But either way. That was quite the drop.
When I first bought my LLY and started learning about Duramax motors (and diesel in general). I noticed just how cramped and small all the piping was, especially the exhaust manifolds. I always thought to myself I wonder how much more power these trucks could make just by flowing better. Glad to see they actually work. I bet you'd notice and even bigger difference after a stroker pump and wind her up to 4k
Been thinking about getting these for my 07
Just what make is your front bumper, I like the profile of the bumper to the gm truck. Thanks and keep up the great information.
Surprised you didn't show off how crushed the driver side manifold is from the factory. Flow is a good thing! Compliments the intake piping flow better!
Beautiful truck. Really enjoy your channel.
Thanks
Great videos man. What brand is your front bumper. Looks awesome!
Hey mr truck Master keep making awesome videos on your channel love watching your channel alot every day u are awesome TH-camr keep up the great work say safe and healthy with your family i hope this will get better soon u and your family have a safe holiday and happy new year to my family to your family 😀🎆
Thanks Brendon same to you sir
@@TruckMaster thank you mr truck Master
@Truck Master - I've been wanting to do this manifold upgrade for a while. Any tips on preventing snapping bolts?
What head unit are you running?
Appreciate all the install videos! I have replaced the down pipe and installed a 4” exhaust and now I am considering the manifolds. I’ve seen the PPE and recently your HSP manifolds. Still deciding which way to go. Cooler EGT and better power is always a plus. Can you explain why only the passenger side exhaust manifold goes to the EGR? Why doesn’t the drivers side… I still run the EGR as I do not want reprogram the computer. Again Thank You!
Thats stupid to do dude
Excellent thanks 👍 Great informative video again Thanks 🏁
Wish you would've included vid on the PPE up pipe install including the bands. It's a tight squeeze with that thick heat shield.
I have many videos on TH-cam in this process 👍
Thanks for the video create info on PPE
Anytime 👍
@Truckmaster How did the exhaust port size look on the new manifolds? I chose to go with a different brand of exhaust manifold than PPE (wish I could have afforded PPE) and the exhaust port size is slighly smaller than the stock manifold but matches the port size to the head. I was curious how the PPE manifold ports compared.
I absolutely hated doing mine on my LB7 but the reward is worth it.
I agree it was not fun at all
Awesome videos buddy. I’ve been watching you for a while. Lots of help on my 07 lbz. Couple questions. Did you use anti seize? I noticed your truck has stock head bolts. How many miles do you have? And have you had any problems since you have bigger turbo? Keep up good job. Mike from Illinois
Stock head bolts work great. You won't need to change them until in the 4 digit power range.
Now that summer is over. I notice better gas milage since my egt temp stays way low. Think ima have to pull the trigger and do a full manifold back system. Probly grab a turbo while im at it. Ppe manifold kit are cali legal right?
It’s nice and nice truck dude 💯
The only mistake I saw (and maybe you did and didn't show it) but you didn't put any anti-seize on the bolts. Seems minor, but it makes things so much easier if you ever have to tear things back apart.
I did these when I did my HG in my 05. I had the engine pulled so my job was a lot easier. Which was good, because one of my studs broke off in the head.
Be sure to spray the bolts with PB Blaster or Kroil before you start
I totally forgot to mention that
would love this to be the eventual Giveaway/Fundraiser 4 Charity truck !!!
I’m hoping to do another one but I can’t with ole red
Currently have all the bolts out of the Driver side up pipe but cannot get it out? Any tips or tricks?
Any updates on the manifold/up pipes? Really thinking about them. Just wanna be sure it’s worth it
I lost traction 😂😂Badass.
Hey you sponsor builds? I got an Lmm to play around with. Js we could build it together build a fan 🤷🏼♂️ 😂😂. Your an awesome dude keep on keeping on
So I watched u do the ppe manifolds on the lbz and lp5, was it easier on the lbz?
The ppe are the same as dmax store max flow. I have pictures of both side by side, there literally identical. Up pipes are exact same and they can be swapped
They are probably made by the same company, many aftermarket items are rebranded for multiple brands.
I just put the d max store manifolds and up pipes on my lbz. Didn’t really notice and difference. Exhaust note has a slightly louder wrap to it under a load. Other then that didn’t notice and lower egt ( that’s what I was going after)
@@ricerocket336 yeh you won’t notice much at all. They really only come into play if your 800 plus hp. There useless below that
I'm stuck on the bottom 13mm on the driver side up pipe at the bottom of the Turbo pedestal. I've got everyother bolt loose. Now I could only get a 1/4 drive to fit, Broke 2 1/4 drive ratchets and a 1/4 drive breaker bar. PB blaster for a week now, don't want to break this bolt like one of your other videos, I'm about to try and heat the up pipe around the bolt with a torch, any other suggestions? I'm doing the Profab headers and up pipes, and the high flow y bridge kit from wcfab, cp3 10 mm stroker, fass 165 for this part of the build.
The up pipe passenger side looks different on the website like "stock" with the egr outlet
Love it!! More on the wish list 😂 You can definitely see the design difference and it will be so much better.
Another great video!
Thanks!
Do you have the link for the up pipe without the egr pipe? Only ppe kits I see have the egr pipe I have a LLY.
A stud kit on the new pieces will make servicing them easier down the road...or trail.
What's a stud kit?
Replacing the new Allen wrench bolts with studs and then nuts to hold the manifold on.
Would these manifolds line up with “stock” HSP up pipes that come in their bundle kit? Or would I need to use PPEs up pipes with their manifolds? Thanks
So you didn't replace the y pipe? What did you do with the other leg of it with replacing with a straight up pipe
Crazy how low your boost is with your high flow iit and new manifolds/up pipes. Mines all stock. Deleted tuned and s&b intake. Ive hit 42lbs boost in tune 5
I would love to have those pipes love working on my durama
I got a 02 duramax and it’s almost stock just an intake exhaust and tune and it pushes 30psi
can you reccommend a decent tuner
Hi ive been trying to figure out the right set to get all i can find is twin turbo or the set with the egr riser which one did you do with having single turbo and no egr riser..btw my dmax is an lly
Should of had a egt probe for before and after temps 👌
Happy new year, guess im buying some new manifolds. 😆
Oh boy
@@TruckMaster you know i can't help myself. Lol, #mopowerbaby
have you ever used dmax store manifolds and up pipes? and if so what you think?
Can you tell me why my coolant container leaks of my duramax 2003 6.6 4x4 I need help please
Last clip never get old 😏
@truckmaster hey if I do manifolds and up pipes and a 3 inch down pipe with a cold air intake do I need a tune . Or am I good to run it ?
Is the PPE down pipe good quality stainless or just regular steel
