I noticed at the end of last season one of the logs was leaking at the riser. I pulled both but the one that was leaking is damn near impossible to separate from the riser. I am thinking of buying a new set. I have included a picture of the ones I was looking to buy but was wondering if it would be better than logs (more power ect). also I was looking on CP but I was not able to locate the gaskets and bots. Any idea on where to get these?

Most of the time people end up cracking the flanges trying to separate the risers, I've done it on a set of logs before.

Glencoe sells all the stud kits and gasket sets for the log and snail manifolds. The riser type exhaust is definitely better flowing but is very pricey. The risers are going to take up more room in the engine compartment as well.

so overall they are better but more expensive than logs is what I am hearing. These I would assume should have no problem just bolting right on I hope.

You probably wouldn't even notice a performance difference to be honest. With the riser exhaust u are going to have redo some water lines and the way the risers hook up to your exhaust tips I'm sure will be different.

I thing glencoe sells the flange gaskets and flange stud kit for about $65. A can of penetrating oil and a propane torch and I'm sure u could seperate your logs and snails and save quite a few bucks.

I have used the penetrating oil and a torch over the last month with no luck lol.

I cut all the studs off flush with the flange. I wedged a flat blade screw driver in between both flanges and kept working them back and forth. Also used a dead blow to hit on the snail carefully. Just be very patient. If u can remove the studs completely that would be a huge help as well.

Try soaking them in ammonia cleaner for a while. Ammonia eats up aluminum oxide.
I've used Parsons before. Works well but you will need to polish them up afterword.
