Corvette manifold owners - attention!

Now that they've been around for a while, I know a bunch of you guys have put them on your truck. What do you think about them so far? Let's hear the good, the bad, the indifferent. I'm thinking about buying a set, but I don't know if they are worth trading out a pair of ram's horns for or not. Does your truck sound a little different with them on? Let's hear it.

Re: Corvette manifold owners - attention!

what do you mean by vette manifolds? the 2.5" ramshorn manifolds, or those aftermarket ones like them?

ive never personally had the aftermarket ones, but i worked at a corvette repair shop for about 3 years and lots of the midyears that cam in had them... they seemed to be fine. much better than headers and arent as restrictive as the 2" manifolds

Re: Corvette manifold owners - attention!

There was a guy selling corvette manifolds for your pickup - you just had to switch to a mini starter. A bunch of guys ordered them but I never heard anything more, so I was wondering how they were performing.

I bought a set from him and I'm very pleased. Throttle response showed a nice improvement.
