Re: Random question about a manifold
Those manifolds are from a vehicle originally equipped with an A.I.R. (Air Injection Reaction) pump, commonly referred to as an air pump.
The belt driven pump takes in outside (under-hood ambient) air, and pumps it to one of two locations via a diverter valve. One location is to the manifolds, via those smaller tubes. The second location is right into the side (core) of the catalytic converter(s).
