PPE High-Flow Exhaust Manifold & Up-Pipe Kit - Raw Finish (2011-2016 GM 6.6L Duramax LML) - (116112000
Overview
The factory exhaust manifold and up-pipe setup on the 2011-2016 GM 6.6L Duramax LML is known for creating unnecessary back-pressure and elevated EGTs. PPE's High-Flow Exhaust Manifold and Up-Pipe Kit replaces these restrictive components with a stronger, smoother-flowing system designed to improve turbo response, reduce heat, and support higher performance demands.
High-Flow Manifold Construction
The PPE manifold is cast from high-sil moly iron for excellent strength and heat resistance. Its improved internal design promotes better exhaust flow, helping lower EGTs and improving turbo spool-up. A ceramic-coated version is also available for those who want additional thermal control and long-term corrosion protection.
Free-Flow Up-Pipe Design
The included up-pipes feature a free-flowing stainless steel inner liner bellows and are built from 11-gauge (.120-inch wall) stainless steel with a 2-inch outside diameter. Internally sleeved bellows made from aircraft-grade 304 stainless steel increase durability and flow capacity under high heat and high boost conditions.
Performance & Reliability Benefits
Together, the manifold and up-pipe system is engineered to maximize exhaust flow, reduce thermal load, and improve overall engine efficiency. The result is quicker turbo spool, lower EGTs, and more consistent performance whether towing, daily driving, or running performance upgrades.

- Upper and lower up-pipe gaskets included
- GTIN: 840171209044
Optional Ceramic Coating
PPE's ceramic coating option adds a thermal barrier that slows heat absorption and reduces surface temperatures. This improves flow efficiency, lowers EGTs even further, and protects the manifold from moisture, road salts, oil, fuel, and other corrosive elements. It also keeps the manifold looking clean for years.
Installation Notes
LML models require a small modification to the upper control arm bushing heat shield. Up-pipe configuration may vary depending on the specific model year.
Upgrade Path
Pair this kit with a PPE 3-inch 304 stainless steel downpipe for a complete high-flow exhaust solution. For maximum performance, combine with PPE's ceramic-coated manifold option and additional 304 stainless components.
