So I finished fabricating my own exhaust manifold air rail (equipped on the late 6's) and ceramic coated them. Where can I post a photo to share? It looks awesome. I made several and have a spare I may sell if anyone is interested. Not sure on a price yet. I could post on eBay but I'll check here first. Or maybe I'll actually join the local club out here and pass the word.
I recall looking in TRF for one of these when I bought the car as a teenager 20 show years ago and they actually had a price listed but it was NLA even then. I think it was quite pricey-I can understand why. :-)

> The air rail on a late 6 is prone to rusting out. So over the years I would collect manifolds with air rails to stock pile them. These buggers have been NLA for a longer time than I've owned the car. Sure, I could remove all the emission crap, but I tend to be a purest. Also, now living in oregon, they do emission testing - unlike Maryland.

Currently I am taking a welding class and have access to wonderful machines and decided to MAKE a complete air rail. It has been a challenge finding correct parts but I did it and properly drilling holes and bending steel tubes. Tonight I plan to start welding/brazing the tubes together!
