    I think that they are steel painted aluminum color,you can see some rust at the dumps,the flanges are thin also.Maybe it was just a custom application,ratrod fodder maybe.

    They don't look like they are made out of aluminum to me. Perhaps aluminized (coated). They have some evidence of rust inside. Can't say I've ever seen aluminum do that.

    Too bad they are not made of that new Transparent Aluminum.

    :confused: Boat manifolds typically have the collectors higher than the heads so the exhaust can go out the transom, but who knows.

    The dolphins left right before the earth was destroyed to make way for an interstellar by-pass :Brow:

    Those were whales and that Klingon POS would have hit light speed much quicker if they had some BBB power! :Dou: (who would have known, a bunch of trekkies too! )

    It was inevitable, seeing as the earth was only a snot sneezed from the great green arkelsiezure(sp). The great white handkerchief cometh!
