Also, I see some companies sell stainless hardware to mount the stock manifolds with....any good or bad about these?? Thanks!!

The cheap SST kits for sale are junk. Remember, with cheap parts you pay three times. When you buy them, when you fix them and when you replace them. 5930987-exhaust.jpg (83 downloads)

So the stainlees kits that are sold by Mageparts are no good? Do you have a pic from the top of that exhaust manifold/gasket? I'd like to keep it mostly stock appearing. Thank you again!! Wally.
