Would it really be worth it (not onyl the money, but the trouble too...) to put L98 exhuast manifolds on my L03?

 

How bout... would it be worth it to put the L98 in place of LO3?

 

If I only had the money and the resources (no work space...)....
*sigh*

 

I think so, thats why I bought a set. Only cost $13, but shipping was $15! Anyway, thats a lot less than headers. Don't have 'em in yet though.

 

Uh well the TBI manifolds are 1 7/8 outlet and the TPI are 2 1/4 outlets. One of the many restrictions on the TBI engine!!

 

Actually the TPI outlet is 2 1/8", but its not that critical. The problem isnt the outlet, but just inside the outlet both manifolds are restricted down the same. So no, its not worth the hassle to replace one set of manifolds with another, and have to modify the y-pipe, as they're not the same either. Just get headers.

 

I figured it wouldnt really be worth it, just was wondering what the consessus would say. Thanks fer your replies

 

Into my LG4, I swapped L69 exhaust manifolds (same as the TPI manifolds but with a heat stove on the driver's side) along with the EFE valve, oval 3 inch y-pipe, cat, and intermediate pipe (my after market was 2 1/2, the stock L69 2 3/4). I bought the whole shebang for $68. Great mod on the cheap. Got pics of the y-pipe and intermediate pipe, should anyone be interested.
