best place to get a good exhaust manifold, not banks, borla or the cheap ebay one

rav · Apr 20, 2004

Hi Guys;
I am looking for an exhaust manifold for my 99 4.6 stroker that i am building and wanted to know, if any of you have bought an exhaust manifold, i dont want to go for the borla or banks as the guys who bought it saw no improvement in terms of gains over the stock one. I also dont wanto buy the cheap Ebay one, or the expensive dealer one.
I have heard about the dorman one, its for $190 something from rockauto.com, has anybody bought these, any info will be apprecaited.

A lot of the Dorman stuff is made in China these days. I got one of the ebay manifolds for my '87 and I'm quite happy with it thus far. I've only had it on for three months so my opinion may change as time goes by.

Good deal. Looks like a clone of the original.

I went with the Edelbrock. It was $350 from Quadratec. Made in the US, complete with gaskets and new collector bolts. Install wasn't as bad as I thought.

I'm gonna go with the Clifford one when my exhaust needs replacing.
