Default Rams Horn Manifold

Hi

Can I get some advise please.

Have been looking at the 2.5" rams horn repo manifolds that are available but most have a bracket on one end that would need to be ground off.

Found these on ebay



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1958-...ht_4115wt_1167

Can someone please enlighten me to the difference between Impala rams horns, 63 Corvette rams horns etc. Is it just the alternator bracket cast on ? etc

Before you decide anything, suggest that you also look at Speedway Motors TRU-RAM exhaust manifolds. These are 2 1/2 inch cast, smooth, and available in either cast iron or stainless, plain or polished.

Another good option is C4 manifolds. The TPI cars have a true 2 1/2" outlet shorty header. The LT1 cars have a cast iron manifold with 2 1/2" outlet. Both will fit a C3. I have the TPI manifolds on my car.

Thanks guys.

Both good options but if I decide not to go to headers I thought the better Rams Horns would look stock and flow a bit better than the originals.

More concerned if the earlier rams horns stick out further etc etc and would be significantly different from the ones on my 71 now.
