95-97 please. Not sure how much shipping would be, but I'm having trouble finding them locally.

Thanks,
Steve

I've got a guy locally who will sell me 95 manifolds for $35. Does it matter if they are Fbody or not? I'll post the pics when I get them before I buy and let you guys tell me if it's a single cat or not.

That Y pipe from Jegs doesn't look too bad. I'm going to try to sell my entire exhaust off my car. Hooker LT headers (slightly beat up from bottoming out), 3" SS piping, dual high flow cats, and a Magnaflow muffler. Dual left side exit, just like a stock SS.

I'm just afraid that JEGS Y pipe will be too close to the pan.

ANY Y-pipe will be too close to the pan.

I glued reflective heat material to the bottom of the pan and wrapped the Y where it crossed over.

This dude with the manifolds will have 96 TA manifolds available tomorrow. If I go with an aftermarket y-pipe like the JEGS, does it still matter what year I get? Except for 93 obviously.

I'm assuming the specific years are for ease of cutting the cats out.

I've also wrapped the Ypipe where it crosses under the pan with a larger piece of exhaust tubing. This only works if there is enough clearance to get something in there. I've seen aftermarket Y's that were contacting the oil pan. This is worst case for oil temps.

Yes, it matters - the flanges are different - see Mitch's post

I'm assuming the specific years are for ease of cutting the cats out.


And for the lightest, most compact, and least likely to touch the oil pan.
