Best Flowing Exhaust Manifolds for LS3?
What are the best flowing factory exhaust manifolds? Are the ZL1 manifolds better than the SS? This is probally a dumb question to some or all because headers are king and I completely agree on that. But it would interesting to know for some who want that stock appearing look.

Good question, ive often wondered this myself.
I have a feeling that the upcoming 2014+ Z28 with the LS7 will have the "best" factory flowing exhaust manifolds.

The LS7 would probably be your best bet but the flange is different and it wouldn't fit an LS3. I dig the stealth idea but the gains would be pretty minimal anyway. If you want stealth add headers and keep your stock mufflers......and then add nitrous.

You could look at the new holley cast units. Not really worth the price to purchase but they'd probably flow marginally better than stock and are close to stock appearance.

Would ZL1 manifolds be a direct swap on a LS3?
