Ram Air manifolds
 

How about some for a 68 Firebird 400!!!!
Unless you already have them.

Thanks! This is my next perchase

who is THEM?

Round-port long-branch manifolds seem to be in demand, for those with first-gen F-body cars. D-ports are available from the competition, but no round-ports.

Any plans to produce these in both round and D-port , with the bigger outlets than stock?

'They?'
Why 'they' are just plain and fancy 'they'
Caught you didn't 'they'?
Tied a tin can to your tail -didn't 'they'
Lead you in and waltzed you out
Oh my what a bunch- big tough ones-standing around with a handful of holes
a thumb up your ass and a big grin to pass the day with
'They' who the hell is "they'

a poet.......and he don't know it.......or is he?
they......nay....I wouldn't want to say
So say we all [they]

THEM
 

Funny how I believe RAMAIR had the same THEM pic on there site years ago for comparison.:eek:

Eric, did you miss this?

I did but.
Unfortunately we are just doing the D-port styles for the two numbers we released.

We will see how these sell first.

I understand.

Much lower volume for the round-port long-branch manifolds, the return on the tooling investment might not be there for quite some time if ever.

Agree with that statement but I know of at least 5 people waiting on them from Ram Air in MN alone. If someone else was quicker to the punch, they would have a nice honeymoon period as there is currently no competition. Been waiting over a year and a half for someone to make the round port long branch manifolds.

Those look great, I am a buyer!

Yeah, gotta get a pair of those.

My new Pypes RA manifolds
 

Just opened my new manifolds, bought them from LMP, $317 free shipping. Besides some runs in the coating they look good.

And who is LMP? Thank's

They sure look good.

Sure would be nice if someone would reproduce these round port long branch manifolds. Ram Air Restorations has been out of stock for about 2 years now or more. They keep saying that they will be getting an example, but each month it is the same thing and no forward movement. Work for first gen firebirds, full size cars and 69+ grand prix. Would think there is a market, but I am likely bias simply because I would be a buyer of two sets. Reproductions have sold on ebay for $900+ for a set. I simply can't pay that. Anyway, thanks to anyone listening :focus:

Does anyone know if these will work with the factory pre-heat shields? A friend of mine told me that he couldn't get it to fit over the ramair restorations ones when he put them on his 70 GTO. Said it was because they were based on the later manifolds, not the RAIII ones.

I'd like to run a set of these on my 69 GTO, but also want to run the rest of the stock setup.

Thanks,

Shaggy

I would like to run the long branch round ports on my 73 GTO. That way I wouldn't have to think about going to headers. I run the reg. round ports right now but would like to go to the long branch for the extra flow. The long branch's will fit on all the 73-77 A-bodies & Grand Prix's, & of course all the B&C body cars. There is a big market for them if they would just start making them again. I don't know who THEY are but the long branch were made a while ago so they should start to remake them again.

I put them on my 78, I had to buy the stamped heat shield they sold for them, my factory one wouldn't fit, so it's put away with my orig log manifolds, the repop one was about a hundred.

OK, sounds like these will work for me then! Something else I noticed about these is that they have the correct one 2 bolt and one 3 bolt flange design, instead of the RA Restorations ones, which are 3 bolts on each side.

Looks like I will be ordering a set.

Ram air resto sent me the wrong driver side, it was a huge nightmare. And they never made things rite.

63gpman, I think the manifolds in your pictures are on my car. Did you get them from a eBay auction? I remember the heat wrap on the one manifold.

could be, I just pulled them from the net. I am now only needing one set as I worked out a deal for a set at the POCI. Likely overspent on the set, but needed/wanted them.

What's the difference between the 078,079,080 and 081 Catalog Part Numbers? The descriptions are identical as are the photos.

Is ceramic coating included? I saw a poster mention the coating on his.

The 77 both have 3 bolts at the head pipe connection. Not ceramic but more like a paint.

Ram Air Restorations roundport LB have been out of stock 4+ years. I try to order them for my Ventura. I don't understand why somebody hasn't been reproduced them, i would buy a set.

Yes with the new Round Port heads that Eldo sell that is a bigger market for the long branch manifolds. There are more & more cars out there that have the round port heads on them every day.
