Re: Ram Horn Exhaust Manifold

I just ordered the Dorman 674-504 for the driver side on my '70 with the 350. It's to replace a shorty header that the truck came with. That shorty wouldn't let the dipstick tube fit properly and tended to burn the plug wires. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

I run the 2.5 rams horns. started off with an e-bay set of corvettes at about $225/set. exhaust guy broke a tab on one of the flanges and that manifold eventually cracked a couple of years later. replaced it with an after market version, basically like the Speedway one for basically that price ($80-90 ea)

p.s.: 2.5s into a 3" would be an excellent way to run, thought about that myself.

p.p.s. buy this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-674-504/overview/ $47.97
and the matching one for the other side: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-674-503/overview/ $51.97

and you should make the $99 free shipping cutoff
