1969 H/O exhaust update
Hey Guys, it's time to replace the exhaust manifolds (they have hairline cracks & leak pretty bad) bought a pair of the free flow exact replacement exhaust manifolds from Fusick had them trued (surface ground) they're perfect! I'm leaving the heads in place but I am going to put exhaust gaskets on (Remflex 11-001) Question I have and always am lost in this area the manifolds are a 2 bolt exhaust flange set up connecting to the exhaust pipe is there a donut insulator or a gasket between the pipe connector & the manifold? & what should I buy if anything some readings day they just bolt up metal to metal this is confusing since there are these type of gaskets for sale what is the actual setup? Any suggestions would be appreciated 👍
thanks

I'm curious about the Fusick W/Z manifolds (I suspect they're Thornton castings but maybe I'm wrong), I've heard the reproductions don't have the center divider like the originals. Is that true? I find it interesting that every published picture of them shows the external side. Never a picture of the machined face so you can't see whether or not the divider is there.

Contrast the shape of the outlet ports on the W/Z manifolds in the photo above with the outlet port on this full size manifold in the photo below. The full size DOES use a donut.
