I didn't say I was done for the week yet!

drewskiren · 04-12-2011, 10:25 PM

I have been doing a little more research on my engine and found a Car Craft article about the best flowing exhaust manifolds for LS engines.

http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles.../photo_03.html

I don't want headers for many reasons - cost, heat, noise, poor quality, etc. and after reading this article I am totally sold on these 2004 -2006 GTO LS1 manifolds. The article calls them Corvette manifolds, but is wrong if you look at the ones pictured - they do mention once they are from a GTO. Anyway, they are within 3 or 4 HP and torque of headers, and 9 HP and Torque better than the next best factory exhaust manifold, Camaro style. I am sure the truck ones I have are probably a little worse than that. I'm on the hunt now for some GTO take offs. Maybe $30 to $50 bucks. Way less than headers and nearly the same performance. Hoping they will fit.

Looks like I may have to do my exhaust a third time! It won't be too bad though.

**thelonerife** · 04-12-2011, 09:18 PM

Take all the time you need. Then come back and show us what you come up with lol. Have a good time most of all.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-12-2011, 10:47 PM

Hey drew on the screen under the cowl... I used an old satellite dish mesh cut to fit it was cheap and easy..

I like that topless burb....maybe they couldn't figure out how to add the 4th door, so they just cut the top off

That front marker light looks odd on that yellow 68
