Default Exhaust Manifold Questions

Are there any differences between a 95 and 96 manifold?
I bought a 95 lt1 to put into my 96 camaro.

The AIR fittings are different. M18 to M22.

Not to mention your 96 is a dual cat car while 95s were single cat.

Judging by his name he might need manifolds if he's running a turbo setup.

Haha the username is an old one when I had my turbo shelby charger, its just stuck since then.

Thanks for the info, I still haven't decided whether I'm gonna go with headers or stock style manifolds yet.

Are the stock style manifolds still available anywhere? Or am I stuck with used?
Are there any good websites that sell headers? (just want to compare prices, etc)

Thanks

Don't waste your time or money replacing ugly, restrictive stock manifolds...very hard to beat pricing or shipping at either Jegs or Summit for headers. DO get decent gaskets however...Earls pressure masters!

I have had the same set of ceramic coated Hooker 1 3/4 for over 12 years, I have a set of 1 3/4 pacesetters on my other car for a good 7 years, neither are cracked.
