I'm looking for an exhaust header for my 1965 volvo amazon 122s with b18 engine.  The cheaper the better.  I'll pay for shipping to Los Angeles area.

Just a thought...

That sure does look a lot like an MGB set-up.

In the case of the MGB, it has been proven that the original cast iron exhaust manifold flows as well, if not better than most tubular headers.

I can tell you from experience that the iron manifold makes for a nicer driver ,and longer lasting exhaust, since headers rot out quickly.

 

I am sure that more Volvo knowledgeable people will be here to confirm or refute the power gains of the tubular exhaust in this application.

 

Interesting dual coil set-up.

The factory coil is part of the ignition switch or vicey versey.

The coil on the right is there to bypass that anti theft BS.

I agree with the iron exhaust thoughts if it has a dual outlet and is not cracked keep it!

I'm more worried about the single circuit brakes....

Looks like I'm keeping the factory exhaust manifold.
