I started to replace my exhaust manifold gaskets and bolts this weekend. After loosening up a couple bolts I noticed that the manifold had moved (alot) even with the bolts still in them. I was told that the manifolds warp pretty bad but I didn't realize that bad. I stopped right there in fear that I wouldn't be able to reinstall everything. I was looking though some parts catalogs and seen a 3 piece "pulse"manifold. Are they worth the money or should I get a stock manifold? Also is there any other options?

ATS IMO.

The 3 piece is what should have come on these trucks from the factory IMHO. The big trucks all have em. Anyways, the difference in price between a stocker and 3 piece doesn't seem to be huge from what I've seen, so why not go with something that gives a longer life and claimed power/spoolup advantages? HTT, BD, ATS all make great products. I've seen the HTT 3 piece ones for ALOT cheaper than the others, look around.

I just finished installing an ATS 3 piece manifold last weekend. I am impressed with the quality, fit and I am happy with it so far. Kas83 is right it should of been on there all along from the factory. If you do put one on, take the time and align the three sections against the factory manifold before installing it.
