If you want to use manifolds, the best ones are the Euro E28 manifolds from the 218bhp motor. Then are honed out to flow with the 2" downpipes of that car. Personally what I used for the exhaust on my 3500csi is E28 headers and then had a muffler shop lengthen the pipes after the collectors to meet up with the factory resonator from a 3.0csi. Hope this helps

Speaking of headers does anybody have any ideas about specific makes,who makes the best quality headers for these cars. My experiences with headers are all poor.Bad fit,poor finish,noisy etc.I have not totally ruled headers out but a good free flowing cast manifold is hard to beat.
