Sorry for the low res picture. I'll take another when I find my actual camera.

It's an ATP "Graywerks" exhaust manifold. Found on Amazon for about $140.00. I selected the "Super Saver Shipping", so I didn't expect it to be here for another week or so. Arrived in just two days.

Fashioned from 409 stainless steel. Weighs about 16lbs, the flange being the heaviest. I think it may be a cast iron flange... Or just very thick, dense steel. machined flat on the opposite side.

Inspected this thing inside and out. The welds are superb. Not only are the tubes welded on the outside, but welded together on the inside of the collectors as well. You can tell this by simply shining a light down into the collector.

It's not finished or anything fancy... But a little high temp primer/paint can go a long way. I guess they've left unfinished for this reason.

This is the same design as the "famous" APN manifold, but $40.00 cheaper. Comes with a paper/metal like gasket, and grade 5 bolts. As well as installation instructions, and torque specs/sequence. As well as a disclaimer regarding worn out motor mounts. I was worried by the picture on Amazon... The collector in the Amazon picture depicted a taper at the end of the collectors, thus restricting flow... Apparently they re-designed it. They are wide and beefy.

Still waiting on my motor mounts, and Thunderbolt cat to come in. Should be here tomorrow, and the weather is looking nice enough on Thursday to do the job. Should buy me some time to PB all the bolts.

 

do yourself a favor and get a better gasket, the ones that come with those suck *****. its worth the 20-30 for a nicer one. you dont want to have to rip all that apart again when it starts leaking in 6 months.

 

I was hoping some copper gasket spray would work, however I intend on heading down to Autozone for a Felpro. Which is only $10.99 and in stock.

 

Sweet!!!
