I am working at restoring my original manifolds right now due to cracks. Like everything else it must be dead nuts on and its a good thing my welding skills are capable. I'll be reviewing options but at this point I plan on running the stock manifolds with 2-1/2" dual exhaust (including mufflers).
The two (2) things Im waiting on correcting, one is the exhaust systems and the other is the 12 bolt rear end. For now its about being a well sorted car in the front and the rear is well the last thing one see's after I rip'em. Cheers and thanks for the ideas for future reference.
