My driver side is J passenger side is H. Is that correct or did PO deviate
Both leak, i pulled passenger last fall and had a previously welded crack repaired. I didnt waste the remflex gasket on it yet since i have leaks at the donuts as well. Which means i prob have to get right at the manifold first and then get the section from manifolds to newer mufflers done right
So how much can i waste on manifolds before it makes sense to just go with the 355y header
PO looks to have put in the 2.5 double muffler set up in . Prob within a few years as it looks solid. The tubes from manifolds to mufflers restrict down at the bends quite a bit so those need to be done better and probbaly supported better since the connections dont fit tight
If i could find good manifolds i would probably remove back to the y and put single muffler in rear all with the 2.5" 3" would be better, but not sure it woukd improve any noticeable amount to scrap good material
Thoughts ???
