Stockvs Ram horn manifolds

[77 K20]

I had the exhaust shop install some center dump 2.5" ram horns on my truck years ago when they were redoing the whole exhaust system. Didn't quite fit on the driver's side due to clearance issues with the motor mount. The modified the mount a bit to make it work though. This was 12 years ago and haven't had any problems with them since.

EDIT: The manifolds did have some odd bracket that was built in for power steering? The bracket stuck off the front of the manifold. Exhaust shop cut the brackets off and ground them down.

That bracket was a generator mount.

The older ramhorns had that mount.

I have ORD motor mounts which are a considerably smaller footprint than stock. I won't be so hesitant to move forward with center dumps now lol
