    One way to search all Craigslists in the US, is to go to Bing or Google, and search

    "Craigslist 340 Challenger Exhaust Manifold"


    Of course, you can do this for any thing you are searching for! Just have "Craigslist" in the search title!!

    hey cudabob thanks for the info..i'm not really looking for original..they are a little pricey for my blood..i have heard the newer magnum v-8 manifolds flow pretty good and are more plentiful (cheaper)..just wondering if anyone has used a set and what variety I need to look for? truck, Durango?..my cuda isn't original under the hood at all so originality isn't a priority.and we will have to put on new exhaust anyway as I'm sure this 3" probably wont sound to good with manifolds..plus this system isnt the greatest for ground clearance and out roads are terrible out here in the sticks..thanks for the reply and tips!!

    I have seen the magnum manifolds on an E body , they fit well as long as youdo not have clutch linkage , there was a couple of years that were better with bigger pipe flanges , not sure which though

    ok well that's what I'm looking for...and of course I have a stick car..go figure!...just trying to get a decent flowing manifold that wont break the bank..maybe I'm dreaming?..looks like the magnum manifolds exit in the rear and that interfers with the linkage?
