How can you tell the different generations of their exhaust manifolds?

The older ones look older than the newer ones. Likewise, the newer ones look newer than the older ones. Hope that helps.

Gen II is way smaller and only has a round hole ont the top where the tailpipe riser bolts on.
Gen III is bigger and has an oval hole where a second aluminum riser bolts on that also has 4 ribs in it and then the tail pipes bolt on to that !!!!

Gen II is actually kind of like the GIl manifolds..just better.

THE GEN III IS THE SH!TS !!!!!! would not want anything else then these ..mine are over 8 years old and never had any problem !

The Gen III is port-separated, the old standard is not. Gen III is mostly 5", the standard is 4".
