Stock Exhaust Manifold Replacement

[GruntHunter]

I finally tracked my small exhaust leak to a cracked RH manifold so I'm going to need to replace it. Has anyone had any luck with any of the aftermarket stuff. I don't want to go the custom header route. It's a hunting vehicle and I need to keep it quiet. I've seen them listed on A1Auto for $40 and ZBRA.com for $70 and GMDIRECT.com for almost $200. I've also seen an 'economy series (whatever that is) on ZBRA.COM for $60. The A1Auto has a LOT of stuff listed on ebay but I don't know whether it's junk or not.

It's going on an '87 350 TBI

Why not just get a good used one? I wouldnt think you would need a brand new one, most people who have worked on engines over the years usually have piles of em

Where in florida are you?

I've got 2 or 3 sets you can have one if you'd like.

the dorman ones are good, and come with all the hardware.

Look at www.1AAuto.com

I just bought my new set from there. I know I had a thread on it.
You will not be disappointed in the product, the price or the service from them.

Merritt Island ! Pete at Pete's Automotive on Hopkins Street (behind Ron Norris) is doing the work for me and we were just talking about it tonight. I need the passenger side.

Duh, I didn't read that you already posted 1AAuto. They do sell cheap Chinese junk but they also sell good stuff.
The manifolds are good. I have pics of mine if you need them.
Perfect fit also.

Thanks. The ones listed for $70 on ZBRA.com are by DORMAN

x2 I have mine 2 years and no problems all the holes were there and also they came with the air holes having plugs in them. So you can either unscrew them or leave them.

I would buy from 1a again seems like a good company fast shipping and good quality.

I've looked at other things (power window motors, seat upholstery, etc) on that site and have always wondered about them. Never have bought anything from them.

Looks like I need to figure out how to tag up with broncoman6524 ( he only lives about 45 miles from me). If we can't find each other them I may try 1AAuto

I have bought parts from them many times over the years.
4 orders this year alone, with one being shipped to me right now.

I've got 2 sets if you wanna pay for shipping, they're pretty heavy.
