Guys, on my older (80's vintage) 454's, I have the pictured exhaust collector on each engine, going into muffler. They are looking suspect and I want to replace them. I looked at fiberglass elbows and various tees to fabricate something, but I was absolutely shocked at the expense of the fiberglass parts to assemble one.
I am not sure what these parts are called. On a sterndrive, I would have called them a y-pipe. I'd love to be educated proper term for these. Again, this is on a 80's vintage 454, carbed. The hose coming off manifold riser is 3" (so I am assuming the od of the pipe is 3") but visually, the end going into the muffler looks slightly larger, maybe 4".
Can anyone tell me the proper term for these "elbows" and also if there is a source for exact metal replacement? I am even open to used pieces in good shape if I can find them. Thanks
