A ram horn is shown in this picture.



It flows better than a log style manifold that you might find on a later model sbc. The one in the picture is a repo of the Corvette 2 1/2" dump ram horn. A benefit is good sealing against the block and less fitment issues than headers. Also should outlast most headers.

These flow pretty good but less than a good quality set of headers. For mild SBC's these are a great alternative.
