81 bronco custom exhaust

Hi everyone. First off wanted to say hi and thatbi am new to the forums, just bought an 81 bronco custom 4x4 with a 302 and it has a manual trans. The question I have is the bronco has no exhaust manifolds or exhaust under it. I have found alot of places that sell a set of headers and exhaust but they all say for auto. Any ideas on places and full kits?

yo jb,

WELCOME!

Thank you for the information. I called summit and they told me they don't carry any headers that will fit a standard trans. They told me to call flowtech's tech line. So I did an got the same response. broncograveyard also doesn't have any to fit a manual trans. Any help would be appreciated thanks. Or am I going to just have to buy the stock manifolds?

yo,
