If anyone has a non-warped exhaust manifold with good threads for the pipe flange/nut, please get in touch with me.

Ben - " a non-warped exhaust manifold with good threads for the pipe flange/nut" is quite difficult to locate. I'd suggest purchasing a new one - they're a decent repro but check the ports seats closely for enough surface for the ring to seal - seems there has been some quality control imperfections on machining the port lands. Use the steel gland & copper ring type gaskets.

thanks for the tip on this. I have been thinking about purchasing one online through parts dealers.

Re: WTB: 1924-1926 exhaust manifold
Im in about the same boat you are on our 25 touring. The existing manifold is warped and the ports are pitted. I got a new manifold for my 22 touring last year and it works great. I'm going to buy another for the 25 and hopefully that will solve my exhaust leaks. Maybe later I can straighten it.fireheadman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 22, 2025 4:45 pmthanks for the tip on this.

For the cost of acetylene, you'd be money & time ahead to just buy a new one !
