Default Exhaust Manifold Selection

What do you think would be the best manifolds for mostly fit and then performance? It's a '55 Buick.

Thanks,
Eric

If your wanting to use true stock exhaust manafolds the truck manafold would work just fine! We have them in stock and would make you a great deal on them. Just shoot me a PM.

^^ what KJ said.
I'm using a set of 05 Hummer manifolds on my 55 Chev.
I ground off the "*****" and had them ceramic coated. I used the stubs that were left on the pipes, and made the head pipes from there. They have a neat, steel o'ring seal, that does not leak!

I agree on the Truck manifolds.

I am using them in my '46 and clear great!



I smoothed them out with a grinder and will have them coated with that shiny stuff.

The ones in the picture above are 2006 5.3 manifolds. If you need some measurements, tell me what you need and I can post them up.

Also take a look at the new '10 Camaro LS3 manifolds...and it looks like you MAY have hte room for a set of GTO manifolds. My opinion they are the best manifold out of all of them...the angle they come off my give some clearance issues. Your set up looks like it may fit pretty well.

Thanks,
Dave
