Vette(s): Stock 1982 Black w/silver interior
Any ideas where to find a right (passenger) side exhaust manifold? All I can find is one from Corvette Central for $450 and a used one $275 from Art's Corvette Parts. This 82 manifold was only made for the 82, not the 84 or any other. I believe this is the problem with the short supply. Any help would be great!

Try Dynamic Corvettes <www.dynamiccorvettes.com>. I've had good luck dealing with them for parts.

Quick question - what happened to the one you have now that would require you to get another one? Just curious as to what can / may go wrong with something like an exhaust manifold.

thanks

Willis,

 '81 and '82 vettes had stainless steel tubular exhaust manifolds. They look like a "shortie header." The A.I.R. injection tubes on an '82 are curved. '81's were straight. And the tubes are welded solid to the tubular pipes.

 From what I've heard over the years is that the '81-82 manifolds are prone to cracking. I sold the ones off of my '81 last year for $100. So I guess the buyer got a deal.

Kinger82,

 When I get back from C3X, I will call a guy down the road that has a vette shop and see if he has anything lying around.

Sarge nailed it, that's exactly what happened, a crack that cannot be welded or fixed in any way. Thanks all for your input.

The 1982 and 1984 have different manifolds, even though they share the same 350 Cross Fire motor. I believe the picture shows a set for the 1984.

Thanks Sarge and Kinger82 - you learn something everyday on this forum. I've always loved those 81s and 82s - some of the sharpest looking C3s ever on the road. Good luck in your search.
