[Tigers] Another Exhausting Tiger Question

[Paul R. Breuhan]

One of the previous owners of my car cut into the trans
tunnel/firewall...probably trying some monkey business like that with
non-tiger exhaust manifolds. I don't see how HiPo exhaust manifolds can work.

And my understanding is the Tri-Y castings don't do anything to enhance
performance.

Personally if I wasn't a big fan of headers (and my car came with headers) I
would try Extrude Hone Abrasive Flow Machining on the stock Tiger manifolds...
http://www.gethoned.com/index.php ...seems like it would have some
benefits...but then again so would a nice set of headers...
