Rams horns availability - New OEM - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RicksTrucks · 12-07-2007, 11:27 AM

Busted my passenger side on my 69 SWB Thanksgiving week at deer camp. Backed over a large rock that pushed my exhaust pipe up and broke the exhaust manifold at the bend (it bends back to the rear). Thought that it was okay, got plenty back at the house. So had a loud drive home that day.

Got home and looked on my shelves of over 20 and didn't have any for the passenger side that bent back. Half of them were for the driver's side and the other half were the straight down ones.

Called the local dealership and they couldn't go back to 69. Called the bigger one in Tulsa and they said they don't make them any more. I know the last new OEM one that I bought a few years ago was for a later model and had to have plugs screwed into the emission holes. Anyone have a part number for one that may still be manufactured?

Since I needed the truck up quickly and didn't want to use a used one from one of my parts trucks, I ordered one from O'Reillys. Aftermarket, but seems to be just as heavy. It cost $111. I have seen some on eBay, new aftermarket, for $21 - but not sure of the quality.

You can get them with the plugs from parts store for about $75 or off E-Bay same new for about $35. I got mine from O'Reilly's $79. Made in China. Mine just broke. Was a little loud one day. Next was really loud. Broke the bottom completely off. Alot people on here say just get a used OE. But I heard they were prone to break.

I think there are numerous places to get them from. Here is just one after a quick search.

I think you'd be better off with an original but this is an alternative.

i bought mine thru ebay. they seem to be fine. i have no complaints except when i ordered them. i got two lefts. and had to buy the right in order to get it coming intime for the exhaust system to be installed. and waited for my credit card to be credited.

i had a crack in my passenger side and upgraded to long tube headers cause they were $30 cheaper than the stock replacement was.

I just got one from someone on Ebay. Search "blazer exhaust manifold" , they have straight or angled exits for $27 plus 10 shipping. They only show them from the block side. I got mine and realized that they are the emissions plug style. Oh well I just want the truck to run with less money input. Tonight
i'm off to Tacoma Screw and Home Depot to find studs and plugs. Hopefully I will get it on early next week.

You guys busting the manifolds should look at your exhaust hanger situation. I've found that most times they break, the truck has insufficient hangers and is relying on the manifold to support the exhaust.

This obviously doesn't apply to the original poster who whacked his against something to break it.

The last GM ones sold for about $200 ea.
I think I have one NOS one left. You can PM me if interested.
