I am looking at the 2.5 Ram Horns ceramic coated (silver).

Summit Racing has them for $169.99, Speedway for $229.99 and Classic Industries $219.99 - Are all of these manifolds from the same manufacturer?

I have purchased parts from all 3 of these vendors and had good results, just wondering if others on this site have any experience with these manifolds. I am looking to bundle the purchase with other parts - from Summit and Classic, to save on shipping

Thanks

Have any of you bought or used any ram horn exhaust manifolds from Summit, Speedway

I am looking for a part that is similar to the original ram horn style used on old vettes. I plan on using the stock looms and heat shields for ram horn manifolds.

Have any of you bought or used any ram horn exhaust manifolds from Summit, Speedway or Classic?

You were asking about ceramic coated ones... I purchased plain cast 2.5" rams horn manifolds from Speedway a few years ago (for $50 each as I recall). They appeared to be 'copies' of the early 60's 2.5" Corvette rams horns manifolds... They have several variations of these, raw cast, or ceramic, or chrome plated... with or without mounting boss for generator/etc...

My engine is in the stock location, with a stock manuel box. I switched to speedway (CE??) side mounts. Will you manifolds clear the steering box?

Thank you

It’s mounted using a GM cast piece that bolts to the front of the head. The adjustment bracket is mr gasket fastened to a water pump bolt with a spacer

My best friend who helps me we everything on my car gathers all sort neat stuff for clean installations. He spent hours routing the plug wires under/side of the engine. He is truly a master mechanic and rebuilt the FI 5 years ago and assisted me with a new engine 4 years ago.

We installed the manifolds the weekend before cruising the coast and installed the rear chunk he put together at same time-made for a long weekend.

All the credit is on my pal, I just furnish the knuckle busting and beer.
