The stock manifolds are already restrictive enough...</div></div>
Good enough -- just takes a skoshi longer for the manifold to heat up. Another issue is when using stock exhaust head pipes, because the heat riser (about 2" thick) was removed, now the pipe may be too close to the floor pan ... assembly will show what the clearance is ... TAZ
