I bought a set of 2010 Camaro exhaust manifolds to try out on the car.....test fit them today and it seems thgey were made for the car......Now.....I have a cpp 500 series steering box which is slightly smaller than a stock box.......so......if you are doing a swap like this...adjust accordingly.......picks from both sides.....

Passenger side first....







Drivers Side.....I'm gonna remove that aluminum cover from the box....It just takes up room......

So.....After looking at those surface rusted manifolds....I decided to give them the Mike Angelo/Grady Burch treatment..... Took them down to the shop and after removing the heat shields.....I glass beaded the castings....







Then you hit them with Krud Kutter which has Phosphoric Acid in it and blow dry with compressed air...





Then spray them with Slip Plate......





Let them dry and they are just like Nu.............Yawk!!





I did this process on the Biscayne 4 years ago and they still look like new
