If it interchanges with an 84-85 (which im %99 sure it does) then you can have one for the price of shipping. Whats wrong with yours?

Well there's a leak in the flange between the manifold and the front pipe and it wont seal, I've tried everything. I just need to replace the manifold all together. Please inform me of where I can get it for just shipping LOL

All I need is a replacement manifold so it will pass inspection. After that the whole system is getting dumped for a Paccetter system.

If you're going to spend the money, don't get a Pacesetter.

Just my .02.

BTW, I have an '83 manifold sitting in my garage taking up space. PM me if Carl's falls through.

Same here, like Moses and unsupa I have one that you can have for shipping cost. Sorry I didnt make that clear. Also I agree, please dont buy a pacesetter. Go RB its $ well spent. Youll never regret that decision, even if the price stings a bit at first. Youll get a complete system that fits and works great. With the pacesetter youll need to fabricate a center section. And itll always be too loud.

want a stocker? find someone who can pick it up and ship it to you. ITS FREEEE!!!

who said its not street legal? Everything is legal as long as you keep a low-profile as in let-off the gas pedal when you see a copper. Then for smog time, make friends...lots of them.
