    I want to put dual exhaust on my basically stock 59 fleetside by using a split exhaust manifold instead of exhaust headers . Is if worth the effort??

    Split?

    Put an extra outlet in the back. Mine is this way and works great. Its easy to break the manifold trying to blank of the front cylinders from the back. The Fentons look better but still need a crossover to balance the exhaust pressure.

    I think I would use the Fentons, they look good and are more efficient than a stock one that has been split. Big Tim :cool:
