Camaro exhaust manifolds collector connection - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Majourlittle · 10-05-2015, 11:31 PM

I am not sure of a good source of the exhaust collectors for the ls3 exhaust manifolds for the downstream section of my exhaust. I have a donor suburban that I am using for my swap and was planning on using the collector parts from it but the suburban is a 3 bolt flange and the camaro a 2 bolt.

Without looking at the suburban stock exhaust, can I use the exhaust piping socket and get a pair of 2 bolt flanges off of ebay like the one in the link?

Does anyone have a good source for a brand new pieces instead of me hacking one off of the old midpipe as I butchered it really good getting the engine free from the truck.

Part numbers from Oreillys?

You can buy laser cut exhaust flanges for the Camaro manifolds from ebay.

I bought the correct flanges for my manifolds and then cut up the y-pipe from my parts truck to make adapter pipes to connect my existing exhaust. Came out pretty good.

So like the one in the link or are there a different flange out there for the camaro exhaust?

The universal one may work, but you'd be on your own there.

Here's a link to a stainless version that uses the stock gasket.

Here's a link to a mild steel version that also uses the stock gasket.

Same manufacturer as above but in stainless.

Your local or my local muffler shop had the flanges for $3.50 each and welded 4"length pipe to the flanges all said and done for $22.00. The gasket at Chevrolet dealership $3.95ea. Running Ls3 manifolds on my suburban also

Same here. I ran Camaro manifolds on my last swap and my exhaust guy had no problem getting me going with inexpensive parts that he had in stock.
