I was wondering what is the going rate for NOS 289 HiPo manifolds? Thanks.

drewsky

im not positive but i think the hi po manifolds are the same as the regular 289 manifolds

Not sure about NOS, but Texas Mustang has reproduction Hi-Po exhaust manifolds for $299.95 for the pair.

Absolutely not. The hi-po manifolds are completely different from the standard 289 logs. They flow much better. Many folks consider them to be cast iron headers.

Question for you: if you're not restoring for a concourse class, why would you be interested in NOS? Forgive me if I sound condescending - but quite a few folks are confusing "NOS" with reproductions. Are you sure you need NOS? If you can find them, they're gonna run you quite a bit. If you're bound and determined to have the real thing, why not get used and just recondition them?

Excuse my rudeness Dart. I see this is your first post here on the classic section of the MF. Welcome...Pull up a chair and join us. Many reproduction body parts don't fit very well, so we have to alter them to make them fit. But an exhaust manifold either fits or it doesn't. Even though Dan is a testy one........... he is right. Aftermarket exhaust manifolds will perform just as well as NOS.

Thanks for the replies. Its not that I need some, I actually have a pair of NOS manifolds that I need to sell. I figure someone might be in need of them.

Dan66

Oh, well that's different!
They worth about $35; but I'll let you have an even $40.

Let's see........I have $42.51 in my pocket right now. Is that enough????

oh my bad i thought he was talking about an intake manifold because he said manifols instead of "manifolds"
