last few I sold were around $150 for 14 ga aluminized but that was a few yrs ago.
Are you interested in having any made?
Pretty sure someone on this forum or the OHC-6 one is running one of mine.

Out of curiosity, are the flange clamps (? that the bolts go through) a standard size? Source? I need two or four of them for my "custom" exhaust.

What will bolt to a '66 Sprint manifold. The clamps on the Y-pipe.

2 different styles
flat ones(66)
raised ones(67-9)
both will fit a 66 manifold
flange is for 1-7/8
66 used short bolts because the flange was flat

Ones that will bolt to a '67 manifold?

Here is a picture of the one that came on my dual exhaust manifold, so one like it??

If you have any old exhaust shop in the area check with them you would be surprised what you might find.

Also check with Inline they offer Clamps & Flanges and might have a suitable part.

No true exhaust shops in town (next town is 185 miles out and I don't know if they have one either). The local mechanic shop has an exhaust tube bender and flarer and I had them make me a pair of straight pipes with flares at the end, but they did not have clamps.

I will check out the link, thanks!

I'm sure you've seen it by now, but my winged in collector. The collector pipe is 2.5" because that is what I have laying around as left overs from other exhaust systems and no where in town sells exhaust pipe reducers.

Not bad at all. Have you checked for fitment inside the car?

No, I'm banking on it not fitting as it sits now and I'll be cutting it just past the O2 sensor for install in the car and will then field fit the exhaust system at that point. I don't expect any clearance issues on the sides.
