Exhaust question

I have a ss/sc exhaust manifold I would like to install on my 2.2. Question is if I install the exhaust manifold but do not install a ss/sc downpipe will I be gaining anything from having the ss/sc manifold?

I don't know about the inside of the piping. But, the inlet's of the manifols are the same size.

bro that looks great. all you did was just bolt the ss/sc manifold into the stock place with no modifications and everything fitting up correctly with no problems? and why a new gasket?

If you're looking for performance, don't stay with a manifold design...get a header.

I installed the SS/SC exhaust manifold and cat-back. Yes, everything bolts up without modifications.

The stock gaskets are steel, and can be reused.
