Cracked exhaust manifold, Aftermarket replacement.
OK i was puuling the head off of my engine last night and i got the heat shield off of the manifold and well it has a nice crack almost completely around the tube on the #1 cylinder.
IM looking at an aftermarket replacement, its not inspected through MD yet and we dont have emissions so thats not a problem. I am going to get it off ebay cause its temporary i have a motor im putting in after i build it so maybe 6-8 months of use and i dont care if it adds power or not. But brands im looking at: spoon OBX-R Megan racing Im only going to spend 100-150 and im not buying one that cost 250+ for obvious reasons just one that can hold up to my abusive driving. Im most likely going to get OBX-R only cause i know the guys there pretty well and i looked at there stuff at the pri show and it was pretty damn nice. Any other brands that are good for cheap, or if any of these have severe problems as far as cheap manufacturing, please let me know. Its been almost 2 years since ive done any mods to an import so im kind of learing all over again.

Re: Cracked exhaust manifold, Aftermarket replacement.
If you're going to replace the motor anyway, why aftermarket? Why not just get one from a junkyard?

Re: Cracked exhaust manifold, Aftermarket replacement.
Junyards here wanted 75 for a used manifold i said fuck it 35 for shipping i can get a damn spoon header. So i ordered it today should be here next week. That and i think i can use this header on my other motor H23 with a H22 head im going to turbo after a while so im going to run NA till i get the turbo shit together, and i think i can modify the header where it goes from 4-2 into a flange for the turbo.
