Re: exhaust

The Corvette rams horns were available with a 2.5" outlet. Originals are getting rare......I don't know if anyone is repoping them.

If that link doesn't work (it's long, myabe won't survive), here is the item title:
Corvette Chevy 2 1/2" Rams Horn Exhaust Manifold Impala

Then there are some interesting variations, like this stainless steel set with a more graceful curve than the OEM design.

Those are some nice looking exhaust manifolds. Sounds like that guy is the one having them made. Really not a bad price for what they are.

Re: exhaust

If his castings are any good that is a good deal. It looks like he has machined the surfaces and threaded the stud holes.

By bad castings I mean low quality steel, voids (air pockets) or thin walls. Result is warpage, breaks or leaks.
