    Yeah I looked it up later... I'm a derp. It happens.

    But most of my ideas are good ones! That counts for something, right? Lol

    I had a thought... If you want to get kind of crazy, you could cut up and rebuild a rear manifold into a "tubular" front manifold...

    Just cut the downpipe exit off and weld in a small piece, grind it all flush and cover it with the factory heat shield...

    Let it sit outside over the winter and get all rusty, it'll look close to stock then. Lol

    LOL, I like this way of applying a patina. I did a search online and found the exhaust spacing may be different LN3 to L36 but it did look to have a better design in pic

    I'll see if I can get to the wreckers next week and start with two. One to dissect and one to mod.
