WTB: Ram Horn Xhaust manifold - Seattle - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can't believe it! I've been looking for a week around local yards, on Craigslist, and calling on buddies. Haven't come up with one yet. Need a 2" center dump straight down. Goes on my '72 K5. Hope to find one close I can just come and get.

I have both new & used.

Pickmup, could you shoot me a PM on a price for a new set of 2", I have bought 3 sets of center dumps and am not real happy with them. Seems like the mounting holes to the heads get elongated. J.

I was about to post up looking for the same thing. Passenger side on my K5 cracked when I installed my LMC exhaust. Mind PMing me some prices too?

**jerry moss** · 12-22-2006, 07:48 PM

those things are starting to become extinct arount here too. everytime i find one or a pair i grab them if the price is right. they are famous for cracking or swelling up and blowing out. even harder to find are the vette version with the 2 1/2 inch outlet, i ended up buying a new pair from the dealer since i had one and could never find a mate for it. i try to keep a stockpile of extras in the 2 inch version since both my 72s have them for now. when/if i ever restore them, i'll use the 2 1/2s.

Got one. Had to drive an hour but only paid $20 for a nice one. Jerry - 2 1/2's would be cool. I'll do that too if I ever need new exhaust or restore.

I have a set of the Corvette 2-1/2" manifolds that I won't be using anymore. I had them on my truck last year with no problems... Excellent shape, even had the mating surface machined before I installed them to eliminate any problems with leaks. What kind of money would someone be willing to pay for them???

**PICKMUP** · 12-25-2006, 01:59 AM

The GM vette 2.5" rams are gone! There were four different part #s that worked straight down and were very reasonable priced...and GM discontinued all of them last year...I don't know where they all went, but there was no warning. I can't get them any more.

C10, Pm'd you.

C10-Driver · 12-26-2006, 06:23 PM

stomper... PM'd you back.

Here are some pictures of the manifolds. IMO, they are in excellent shape. The only "issue" is the finish. I tried to apply some high heat paint last spring before I installed them but it didn't stick. You will probably want to take a wire wheel to them to clean the paint off. I tested a wheel on them and most of the paint literally flies right off.

I've got a pair. I think they are a pair anyway...
The left side one has the mount for the alternator also.
Don't have any idea what they're worth.
