Well, i'm taking on a new dimention with my '59 Apache. I've always wanted to install a split manifold and exhaust, so now i'm starting to get info lined up for this project. One of my questions is about stainless exhaust or ceramic coated, which would hold up better to the heat? I currently run a 261 w/ stock exhaust manifold, (the stock manifold being ceramic coated) and is still looking good after a long summer of car shows. My intentions are to run a Offenhauser intake with the new exhaust. I'm just looking for ideas and past experience with this kind of set up. Thanks for info! wave
