    i have looked at pictures of the hi-po manifolds and the question is will the passenger side manifold fit a ford maverick ,i was very curious to know if anyone has used either side on a maverick im pretty sure ive read that the driver side wont but didn't know for sure about the right side

    I know the Mustang HiPo exhaust does not fit the early Falcon. Since the Falcon engine bay is larger than a Maverick engine bay...I say the Mustang part is too big for a Maverick. Some 70's vans with 351W have a better exhaust manifold than the HiPo manifold

    Most just go right to tube headers. For the price, hipo manifolds aren't a very good deal.

    It's been an exhaust kinda day so far so I'll quickly comment.

    They also came on many trucks too and I've used them more than a few times many years ago. IIRC, one side is restrictive with a kink at the collector and you need to mix and match with another model(car I think).. to get a nicer flowing setup.

    I highly doubt that the better flowing manifold that I vaguely remember(not even sure which side it was now) ..would even fit into these narrow cars.
