EXHAUST SYSTEM ON 19-GIV. We have fitted up the latest W.W. exhaust system to this car from the LeC. but we have not a manifold suitable for the 2" flange shown on this scheme. Therefore, if you have not already done so, will you please instruct this manifold as it will necessitate pattern work and the 10,000 mile test is starting almost immediately.
