Unfortunately no, they are unique to the RARE manifolds because of the size and hole position. Most exhausts use the standard 2 bolt flange and these are 3 in a 2.5" variety. Most exhaust shops here are little more than chop-shops attaching cherry bombs and fat tips. Give them something complicated and they make excuses why it can't be done or chump it hard when they try. On my '73 6 years ago I ended up with a broken manifold bolt drilled out and tapped incorrectly and when I called them on it they just said "well it was old, what did you expect?"
I don't know when I'm passing through just yet, it won't be until later this year. I'll likely be shipping this car and driving my truck ;-)
