Dorman Passenger-Side Exhaust Manifold Kit for Ram Trucks - Includes Gaskets & Hardware, OE-Fit Durable Cast

Replacement passenger-side exhaust manifold kit from Dorman that includes the gaskets and downpipe hardware needed for a complete, direct-fit repair on compatible Ram trucks.

If your Ram is showing symptoms of an exhaust manifold leak, replacing the manifold with a properly matched aftermarket unit restores fit and helps prevent exhaust leaks and noisy operation. Dorman engineered this passenger-side manifold to mirror the original part’s mounting points and flow path, and it ships with the gaskets and downpipe hardware required for installation. Before ordering, confirm exact fitment by entering your vehicle’s year, model and trim in the garage/fitment tool.

How does this Dorman manifold match the original equipment?

The manifold is designed to match OE dimensions, bolt patterns and port alignment so it installs without modification. Materials and casting methods are selected to resist common failure modes, and the included hardware ensures you have the pieces needed for a like-for-like replacement.

• Precision-engineered mounting surfaces and flanges for direct fit
• Durable construction to reduce risk of warping and cracking
• Includes downpipe bolts, nuts and gaskets for a complete swap

Will this part fit my Ram truck?

This kit is compatible with a range of Ram models and model years listed by Dorman; fitment varies by year and trim. Always use the product’s fitment/garage tool to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase to avoid returns.

• Basic tools and torque wrench required; replace rusted fasteners if damaged

How durable is the Dorman manifold compared with other aftermarket options?

Dorman emphasizes reliable construction to reduce common failures like leaks and cracks. While longevity depends on driving conditions and maintenance, this manifold uses materials and design features intended to withstand heat and thermal cycling encountered by exhaust components.

• Engineered to resist warping under heat load
• Materials selected to minimize cracking from thermal stress
• Backed by Dorman’s aftermarket manufacturing and quality checks

Who is this for: This passenger-side manifold kit is aimed at owners and technicians repairing compatible Ram trucks that need a direct-fit replacement without hunting for separate gaskets or downpipe hardware.
