Features, Description, Q&A, Specs & Installation
Factory-Style Performance. The Exhaust Manifold Heat Riser restores period-correct function and appearance while promoting cleaner exhaust routing for 1965-1974 Big Block V8 Chevrolet Corvette C2 and C3 models. Purpose-built as a direct replacement, this reproduction part is engineered to deliver improved flow versus tired originals, helping reduce restriction and heat soak at the manifold outlet. It’s a smart refresh that preserves the character of classic powertrains while supporting smooth drivability and reliable warm-up behavior.
Construction and Appearance. Featuring a raw metal finish, the assembly presents an authentic, workshop-fresh look that pairs naturally with vintage cast-iron hardware. The included 2-1/2-inch headpipe arrives without a valve for an unobstructed passage, reducing turbulence at the critical transition. OE compatible and comparable geometry maintains proper alignment at the flange and downpipe interface, while tight, reproduction-grade tolerances support gas sealing and long-term durability. The straightforward design emphasizes flow and fit without unnecessary complexity.
Installation. Designed for direct replacement, the component interfaces cleanly with existing exhaust hardware for a straightforward, adaptable install using common shop tools. Support the system, loosen aged fasteners methodically, and transfer gaskets or replace as needed to ensure a secure, leak-resistant joint. Finalize by aligning the headpipe, tightening hardware evenly from the manifold outward, and verifying clearance to surrounding components to prevent rattles and heat-related contact.
Application. This Exhaust Manifold Heat Riser fits 1965-1974 Big Block V8 Chevrolet Corvette C2 and C3 models. It enhances exhaust efficiency and authenticity, offering cleaner gas evacuation and a crisp, period-correct look that complements restored or well-preserved engine bays.
