I bought a new set of Exhaust manifolds a few years back and finally went to put them on. I am putting an engine in my project truck and the parts truck has turned out to be just crap everywhere.
My new manifolds turn back at a 45 degree angle and the old ones went straight down. Which is correct for a 4x4, or does it matter? My guess would be the old ones came out of a station wagon or something just as foul.

Thanks in advance.
