I haven't been in here since I sold the 80 but today while I was in the shop working around I came across the heat-riser eliminator that I milled out of a piece of stainless stock I had laying around.
It fit my stock manifolds and y-pipe on the 80 like a glove.
It basically gets that pesky riser valve out of the exhaust stream.
