They are great and better made than factory manifolds. I really like them. They are not leaking, have been no problem and fit nicely to 2.5" pipes. I had to shave a little off the intake to get them to fit. The pipe shop guy had to do some creative bending to get duals with an X pipe out of an inline 6. I have 2.5" pipes to the X right behind the transmission and then to Dynomax Super Turbos and then exit straight out the back in 2" pipes. I need to get some pics to post.
I do have a couple of pics on my website of the Stovebolt headers as I was installing them. The site is still a work in progress, esp. since I don't have a digital camera. I list some of the upgrade work and parts used, etc.
Oh, one more thing. If you get the cast iron headers, buy the ~$18 collection kit. It makes for a good fit to your pipes. Talk to Tom Langdon at Stovebolt. They are his design (new design) and he is good to respond to e-mails and has been helpful.
Now I've just got to jet the carb right . . .
