I ended up paying $70 each at a yard for the ones on my Trooper. All the other styles of manifolds hit the firewall and there's no room for headers in there.

Really old set of seriously warped headers on the '72, I don't even know what they are. They where on when I got the truck.

I have the 2 1/2" 'vette rams horns on my Jimmy. Love 'em.

A used set is worth about $100 IMO. New they are $150. ($75 each or so )

Ceramic headers here!!!!!!!

weasel29gm · 02-14-2003, 12:26 AM

Got em' too, thinkin' about headers later.

63-64 vette manifolds r worth the big bucks. find the numbers. if they r original the you got something

gashog · 02-14-2003, 12:55 AM

Me too at least for now.

I need to get a new one for the RH side of my 4x4, the last straight dump I bought cost me either $30 or $50, I can't remember which. I'm hoping they are still that cheap......the local junkyard gets them from some company in Canada that is casting them. Oh yeah, my other 72 has ramhorns as well.

GMCjunkie · 02-14-2003, 06:42 AM

Brand spankin new!! Just ditched the headders and went back to ramhorn... also run them on the step.

I'm running the 3797901 (Left Hand) & 3814970 Corvette Exhaust Manifold (Right Hand) Cast iron Corvette "ram's horn" exhaust manifolds that have extra-large 2 1/2" diameter outlets. They are recommended for street rods and other custom installations. Corvette exhaust manifolds are also popular in limited racing classes that require production-type exhaust systems. This left-hand manifold was used on high-performance 1962-63 327ci Corvettes. I grinded the gen mounts off and then used the POR-15 exhaust manifold paint.

I could not find a set of headers that would work with the angle plug heads and not hand down too low as well.

Stockers here. Right now they are sitting on my cart.

I BOUGHT MINE FROM MODERN CHEVROLET THEY ARE 2.5 INCH CORVETTE STYLE STRAIGHT DUMPS . RUNS BETTER THAN THE HEADERS AND NO MORE BURNT WIRES . AND NO MORE LOOSE BOLTS AND ALL THE OTHER HEADACHES THAT GO WITH HEADERS. IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE TO MY TRUCK. DAN
