[[File:Ramhorn rear exit.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Rear exit rams horn manifolds]] Chevy had two types of the rearward angled rams horn exhaust manifolds. One type was used on X-bodys and the other was used on truck engines. Because of the position of the outlet, neither type will work on F-body or A-body GM cars. | [[File:Ramhorn rear exit.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Rear exit rams horn manifolds]] Chevy had two types of the rearward angled rams horn exhaust manifolds.

Regardless of what gasket that is used, trim the ID to fit the largest port, be it the header or the head port so there's no overhang into the port. After trimming, start all the bolts and just drop the gaskets into place. Other header gaskets can have the bolt holes slotted in the same way as the foil backed gaskets shown above, for easier installation. | Regardless of what gasket that is used, trim the ID to fit the largest port, be it the header or the head port so there's no overhang into the port.
