What is the best ORY pipe to run to stock exhaust manifolds for a 98 camaro?

Really, don't bother with one. Just get headers and ORY at the same time.
It's a waste of money and time with an ORY and stock manifolds, more so with them 98' manifolds.


Peace,
Craig.

Yeah I figured that but thats all I have the money for right now so thats why I was asking which was the best. I also wondered if you have to buy a certain brand like Mac or Slp with 2 and a half inch inlets or can it be any brand like kooks or etc... that are three inches? Will that work?

I had a MAC. Never had any problems with. I liked it. That was 3 years ago though, I'm sure other co. have better and different ones on the market.

Thanks I want to see if I can get something different then the the two that everyone has had like mac and slp but if those are compatiable with stock exhaust manifolds I have no choice. Because I have a MAc on the vehicle now but it is very banged up and I have a exhaust leak so I am going to buy a new one. Just looking at my options.

Whoa there, you have MAC headers right now? There are no ORY's that work with BOTH aftermarket headers and stock manifolds. The headers are longer, even MAC's that are mid-length.

So......just fix your leak, or find a set of used MAC's for sale.


Peace,
Craig.

I think he is saying he already has a ORY on stock manifolds and he is looking to replace it.
Listen to Crager, don't bother replacing it, just save up for some headers to actually see some good gains.

Yeah you guys maybe right everyone I have spoke to just told me to fix the leak(bolt it up again) and that solves the problem and save money for headers or I will be wasting money on a new y and then again on headers later and the Y to match the headers. WHich i think is probably the best because me Y pipe is still good It just hanging to low which is causing the leak.
