Exhaust finished with my upgrades

So I had a cracked exhaust manifold and bought a NOS one from a vendor in Texas. Had a chance this week to change it out and as you can see I added something that the Govt. didn't. I welded in a flex joint into a one piece engine pipe. I also added brass washers on the 9 inside hex nuts. It sure is nice not to be sucking carbon monoxide and to hear how the engine is running. Look at the intake/ exhaust and tell me what you see different? Yes this is a test ha ha.
BTW, when I took apart the PCV valve for cleaning the weight was wrong way round!

No ports / plugs for a primer system.

Good eye Tim, But does that make it a civy intake or a later M37B1 intake?
Don't need the primer as I run an electric pump and most folks don't realize the changes for a more drivable vehicle for me.

Hi Wayne,
Not sure, maybe both! The civi intakes have one plug at the rear, cant vouch for the B1 intakes at all!
I like the flex joint, it should make life a lot easier on the manifold.
