I could be wrong but I thought the 2 1/2 inches were all pre-C3. Used on HP 327s.

I think Larry is right, the 65 or 66 model C2 was the last year to have 2-1/2" Rams horns.

:iagree: But they started back again with 2.5" outlets in the C4s. Not a rams-horn, but a nice shortie header that works great. I have TPI C4 manifolds on my 69, and I like them very much.

I think 62-64 327 Hi-Po Impala or Chevelle is the same also, but they all bring premium money. I was going to use these to keep a stock look, but after watching them on Ebay they just went too high. I saw one at a swap meet once that looked like it had been laying outside since the 60s-looked like moon craters it was pitted so bad. He still wanted $150 for that thing. You can get the C4 ones for around $100 a pair, cut the AIR tubes off and weld the holes shut, or use the AIR tubes if you must have them for local emissions. Paragon has a repo for $210 if you don't mind grinding off the alternator mount, or $250 in a useable configuration.

Pace performance still sells them at $129 a side.

Can't be all that bad I have a friend with a zz4 that pulls 13.4 in the quarter using these.
