Anyone tried them on our trucks? Curious if they would clear everything on a 4x4.

I just had to stop dead in my tracks and do a post on this. These are drop dead gorgious!!! I can see these on an old hot rod like a 32 ford or a 50's ride. Never seen them on our trucks .... never seen them before to tell you the truth.

esll.

**Boog** · 11-24-2007, 10:14 PM

You're right. They would look great on a showcar like a roadster. I wonder how long the chrome will last before it starts to turn colors?

Spray-Bomb · 11-24-2007, 10:22 PM

Polished stainless, not chrome

Those are nice !!!

bad6772 · 11-24-2007, 10:24 PM

im gettin me a set.............

corn · 11-24-2007, 10:29 PM

Those are nice! I bet they turn gold after the first drive though...

**special-K** · 11-24-2007, 10:36 PM

They`re not just available polished stainless,right?I saw another picture and I thought they were steel or cast...no shine.

GMCBubba · 11-24-2007, 10:45 PM

Nice!

**special-K** · 11-25-2007, 06:42 AM

Do they offer a mandrel-bent head pipe to complete the package.I love these,too.But,that`s what I`d want to sway me from headers.

Probably not, but you can have one built...

**special-K** · 11-25-2007, 09:54 PM

That`s real nice,Ken.I have a local guy to do a mandrel bent exhaust for mine when I`m ready.I may go with these.Decisions,decisions,decisions...

Mondo · 11-25-2007, 10:14 PM

I asked the same question about these a few weeks ago. Not sure they'll fit though... I think our manifolds need to angle back and can't come straight down in the middle like these

.

If someone has these installed, please speak up

**special-K** · 11-25-2007, 10:21 PM

Doh!!Good point.One I keep overlooking,them get disappointed.

**N2TRUX** · 11-25-2007, 10:42 PM

I'm not sure about these manifolds specifically, but the straight cast ramhorns will fit. I have the 3" Corvette ramhorns on my 77 Cheyenne.

jeffspower · 11-27-2007, 01:07 PM

Surely somebody has tried these! If not, I'll be trying them next spring when I have the coin. I want to get rid of the crappy headers on the '68 K10, and thought these would look sweet & flow decent. Speedway is 1/2 hour away from where the truck is kept at my dads, so it would be a short trip to return them if they don't fit.

N2TRUX, thanks for the info. I've always wondered if ram horns work on '73- up.

Mondo · 11-27-2007, 10:08 PM

On the thread below I showed these manifolds along with Sanderson's cast iron header (keep things quieter)...
Sanderson doesn't recommend this type header for small block. Hopefully someone will take the chance and let us know

i think that if you call polydine they can coat ours and make them look like brushed ss.
