Is 3500$ worth it for the 355?

Go New!

 

Those are for a 5.2 car('96-'99). Your profile says you have a '95 355. Are you sure they are tubi and not factory?, have you seen them. They look like factory(Ansa) pieces to me. New ones from NAPerformance are about the same price IIRC. Regards, Vern

 

Not only are those factory oem manifolds, but they are pretty early ones too (not sure of 2.7 or 5.2, Vern is the expert there) but I can tell by the look of the air injection rails that those are the early ones. The later ones had an update to prevent failure of the air injection rails.

So those are not worth buying, since they have two failure prone areas, the exhaust manifold tubes AND the air injection rails.

 

They are for sure 5.2 manifolds the 2.7 have a different angle to the upper exit pipe. I thought those looked factory to me too thanks for the 2nd on that Dave.
and in support of Dave's other thought; never never ever buy factory exhaust headers even if they are low cost which these are not, they never fixed the problem of inadequate pipe quality for the job they were assigned. Regards, Vern

 

Just an FYI NAPerformance manifolds are currently in stock for $3,299 in 2.7 (1995 year model). For the 5.2 (96-99) there is a 8 week minimum wait.

 

Yes!! Go new for that price.
