Unbelievable....broke an exhaust manifold - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Piece of Work · 07-12-2007, 08:04 PM

In all my 30+ years of working on and driving old vehicles, I have never seen this. Today it was about 90 degrees outside and after work I went to pick up 2 of my grandsons. They got in and I took off, in there parking lot there is a low spot that retains water after a rain. When I hit this water, it splashed up and hit the hot exhaust manifold, breaking it in half!, right above where the down pipe attaches. Has anyone ever heard of this? Are these ram horns readily available? I find this rather unbelievable, but it happened.
