Was doing some surfing the other day and came across a guy that had a header on his Sportage. I email him on what he was using and here is his reply:

[color:"blue"] My exhaust manifold is from a 94-02 mazda miata 1.8 liter bp four cylinder engine. You can find them on ebay fairly often. This is the factory manifold. It fits the kia head- but some modifications are required. A few of the bolt holes do not line up and need to be wallered out of redrilled. But - the ports line up perfectly- or pretty darn close. I've been using it for years and so have my friends- none of us have had any problems. It works well. I painted mine using some high temp ceramic paint from auto zone- I painted it with the engine running for the best result!

It was one of those sites that you show your cars mods.

Anyway, hope this helps anyone wanting to improve their exhaust flow.
