Default renegade manifold

I may have the Renegade manifold installed om my 82 CE vette. Will that hurt the resale value if I decided to sell it one day?Thanks

Did you keep the OE manifold, "just in case"? If you did, I'd say there's no loss in value.

You should easily be able to tell if you have a Renegade on your motor or not. It says RENEGADE across the top plate in big letters. Pull your air cleaner and have a look.

If you are a purist, then remove it if installed. Otherwise you should be good to go.

Do you know anyone that has experienced the Renegade manifold?

This is a true statement, the average is 30 RWHP, but we have seen more as well. Good luck and do a before and after if you can. That is the only way to see what you really got from the swap. 383 and bigger cube motors really love the manifold.
