I have a set. No issue to date. Just changed gasket while I had apart. They were still good

Best bang for the buck IMHO. I have had a few new ones I've installed fresh out of the box that had really nasty pipe threads that I had to clean up with a pipe thread chaser. Other than that though, and sometimes there are minor clearance issues with accessories on some engines (nothing that can't be easily fixed with a little extra time,) they are great manifolds.

Splurge the little extra to have them powdercoated. The will stay looking nice longer.

I have a set of them on my Schiada. Have not had any problems with mine and they are probably twenty years old .

My risers leaked on each side once in twenty years. I'm doing a complete rebuild and having them pressure tested hopefully they are ok. A good set of headers are ridiculously expensive!!

I had them. I liked the IMCO Thumper Power better. They don't use that external cooling hose.

My dad has them on his 78 sport cruiser with the 260hp small block and they make that old engine sound so healthy.
