Who knows about stock exhaust manifolds? The original truck (2000 4.8) manifold sits just above my frame rail. I'd like it to be shorter by at least 2 inches, or if it tucked tighter to the engine by about 2 inches. I'm looking at the SSR manifolds. They SEEM to be shorter, but I have no way of knowing at this time. Dorman has the repros for about $140 or so with the gasket and studs. The GM Dealership can get me a new GM part(SSR pass. side ex manifold) for just over $80 bucks. (No gasket or studs).
Can anyone tell me if the SSR manifold is actually shorter than the original truck manifold? Thanks.
