Hemi Exhaust Manifold New Design?

[HEMIMANN]

Get the old manifolds back,lay a straight edge across them,if they're bad,buy yourself a decent sized belt sander and go to work on them with 50 grit,then finish them up with 80 grit,and throw them in storage for when the "new design" breaks,lol

I hear ya - those years are behind me, though.

Quite the opposite, yet related...when ya only got 12 weeks of habitable weather, you squeeze all 52 weeks into it. Hence many injuries.

Hell my last name damn near killed me in my younger days,had an old judge tell me once i didn't have to live up to it,then he threw my ass in crowbar hotel for 90 days,about the 30 day mark i decided he might be right,lol

Well.....today didn't turn out like I thought.

So, amidst all the hubub in the exhaust shop, the technician understood to replace my exhaust manifolds because the bolts had broken - not preemptively prior to breaking.

The Tech inspected and removed the manifolds, nothing broken, no leaking, no damage, very clean. So he put everything back together and left the pickup call for the end of the day.

I went to the shop and said hey, I wanted preemptive replace, and the Supe said they really don't recommend it with my pristine condition (47,707 miles).

At that point I kinda threw in the towel, being tired from working outside most of the day and took the truck home.

Can't get a straight story from anybody these days. I want off the planet.
