I replaced my exhaust manifolds yesterday on my OMC 460 King Cobra with a new pair a bought a couple of years ago. Now I'm trying to decide what to do with the old ones. They don't look terrible (risers looked much worse) and I don't see big flakes of rust. There's some rust flaking off on the outside of the manifold where it attaches to the head.

Here's a pic:

Do these look decent enough to not throw out? I was thinking of having them dipped in muriatic acid to clean them out, repaint, and then keep them around unless I ever need them.

Seeing how impossible these manifolds are to find, I'd hate to toss them out.

Keep 'em. If you plan on keeping that OMC you'll need all the spare parts you can find!
