Thank you, somebody does agree with me on this issue!!!!! The manifolds
are based off of the 69 T/A manifolds and when compared to each other
on a flow bench, the Magnum's driverside flowed 115% and the passengerside
flowed 95% (bad casting dogleg on #8 runner) of the T/A's. A little porting
and polishing
on them makes a sizable difference, Besides, if headers only give a "Peak 15
horse"
that should state their reputation as excellent flowing manifolds. I would
rather spend
$450 for Extrudehone to do their magic on them. I can also bet that any
header on any
Dak will pop and fart in gear on decel. The ported manifolds on my combo does
not.
Anyone in the club who has headers with a set of manifolds thrown in the
corner, I would be
more than happy to take them off your hands. It is also funny when people
look under the hood
and expect all the given's (headers, chrome, blower etc...) and see stock
valve covers
and manifolds, hee, hee...bravo Alan...
