do ram horn manifolds work to replace the stock manifold and are they better?
Hello i was wondering if ram horn manifolds could replace the stock manifolds? I am doing this to get rid of the smog crap on them and dont want headers cause i dont want to have to do exhaust work. And i have read ram horns breath really well.

what part wont fit? Is it cause they dont have any ram horns that have a diameter the correct size or? Cause arent the exhaust ports the same on a tpi as any other sbc?

You can use the stock manifolds and get rid of the smog (assuming it's legal in your area to do so). Only other option is 3rd gen headers.
