After some searching and some reading I realize that a stock manifold is the way to go. I have a 2.25 catback system and a new cat, and figure while I'm that far along, I maight as well go ahead and do it all.

So my question is, if I went and picked up a junk yard one, can I have it tanked and cleaned up. And what should I look for as far as areas prone to cracking and such.

Also, does anyone have any experience with any aftermarket manifolds, ie the cheepies on ebay or something from napa or pep boys.

I also read some old posts about welding a piece of flex pipe into the system, where is the best place for that to go.

thanks for everything,

Matt


Just curious on why You think the stock manifold is the way to go?

Not razin' You, just curious <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

And alot of the parts places, Napa, autozone, they'll order parts like that from the factory. But, I did have a cheapy-Ebay exaust manifold on an old Nissan Hardbody that I once had.

It cracked in just under a week...uggh...

I'm gonna say get Yourself a nice header, LC makes a pretty nice one. They're about the same price as a decent manifold.
