Are they the HP's that you have available or stock
ones?...I don't know, how much are they worth to you?..If they are HP's then I
would need both but if it's stock then I gues I would only need the drivers
side....I'm still weighing my options but a ballpark price from you would be
helpfull in my decision...It would be shipped to Plattsburgh NY 12903..I'll go
down and get it there at my buddies place...thanks!
Also, can you tell me how much the motor has to be
moved to fit the HP manifold?..Is it just an inch or two, or do you realy have
to lift it a lot? Also, does it improve performance a lot or minimaly?
Thanks!

Subject: Re: IML:440 exhaust manifold
question...
After spending a considerable amount of energy on
this, the
word is:
NO. Headers are not commonly available for
Imperials.
Also, look at Magnaflow - that's what I selected to
get a
slightly mellower sound. Flowmasters tend to
make more racket in my
experience - not very imperial
but great on a pick-up truck.
The
C-body HP manifolds are the only option besides
stock.
You will have
to lift the engine to get it to fit, and
you're best off installing them
before the engine is
in the car, if that's an option. The exhaust
dump on
the DS will not pass around the steering coupler
without moving
the engine.
