RARE Factory Exhaust question...
I'm installing a set of RARE exhaust manifolds on my 455 http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=545844
does anybody have any suggestions for bolts, other than the ARP's that I've got? Thanks...

Talked to Paul @ RARE, there's a bolt set on the way, along with the flanges I paid for but never received...good thing I called, but I don't know why they wouldn't recommend buying the bolt set when you buy the exhaust manifolds? Oh well...thanks for the heads-up...

I bought mine from RARE 6-8 years ago. They came with bolts.

I used to work retail sales at a small music store, our customers would pay a couple hundred bucks for a drum machine only to hear "sorry, we need to order a power supply, that'll be another $20..." I was talking to the manufacturers rep, and was bitchin about that...and he tells me "but that's a way to make more money!" I looked at him and said "we sell that thing for $20, we buy it from you for $14, how much money do you think I'm making on that?!?! Why not up your price $10 and INCLUDE IT..." and he sits there with this dumb look on his face...
