I think i'm gonna.. It's a fairly simple job to do... i got a used exahuast
manifold put in last season. but there's still the elbow and the other side
exhaust manifold and elbow.. Should i replace both the manifold and elbow
on the other side? I know you said visual inspection will only reveal
little but is there a way to tell or jus treplace em?

.....If you've gotten 10 years out of them, I'd replace them.

......but replacing the manifolds and risers was pretty
straightforward.


I'll second John's evaluation. Visual inspection of the riser, manifold,
or elbow will only reveal a small portion of the interior. Ten years is a
damn good run for a cast iron part, and continued usage (particularly when
you're already showing symptoms of blockage) is gambling with a very large
downside. Replace "em.
