GEAR GUIDE BIG BOSS MANIFOLD Performance Diesel Inc.'s Big Boss Exhaust Manifolds are forged from high-speed machined material to eliminate warping and cracking problems. Each manifold is designed with a ball-seal joint to allow for heat and flex at the joints while holding a tight, efficient seal. Each PDI manifold includes high-strength studs for added durability. Improved airflow helps to lower exhaust temperatures, reduce turbo lag and increase horsepower and torque. PDI, pdidiesel.com, 800-511-1231. TRAILER SEAL LOCK Transport Security's Enforcer Seal Guard Lock No. 5900 is designed to protect trailer seals from unauthorized removal and tampering while in transit and will accommodate cable, plastic, metal and bolt seals.

It comes with the additional option of using Enforcer Abloy high-security padlocks to secure the unit. Transport Security, transportsecurity.com, 800-328-3442.
