'92 Alltrac cracked exhaust manifold - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Yup, another cracked exhaust manifold. I could have my local muffler shop weld it, but has anybody had experience with these?: http://www.thepartsbin.com/sitemap/t...old~parts.html

The price seems pretty reasonable. Any other recommended sources? Thanks

the price is very resonable. but like they say you get what you pay for.
my dad has a all trac rolla and he has never had any problems let alone
the header. thats big
well good luck fixing it.
you can look on ebay/forums for OE ones.

I've owned 2 Alltracs 1990 & 1992. Both have had this issue, and the muffler shop said happens to all of them. We had the 1990 welded which held for a year or so, then put on a new one (~$200). When the '90 died, I pulled off many parts, including the exhaust manifold. It wasn't long before the 1992 needed one, so I had a spare. Now that one is cracked. Some of the aftermarket ones I'm finding on the web claim to be reinforced to eliminate the cracking issue. I just wondered if anybody had experience with these.

I feel your pain, ALL-TRAC's crack the header, all of them will eventually. You can get them on e-bay for under $70: LINK, or check out Rockauto.com

wow this must be very common for the all tracs.
very weird though. my dad has one alltrac right now.
and hes had another on from before and no problems.
one was a 89 and the other was a not to sure no 90 or 91.
both corolla wagons one stick and one auto.
well i hope nothing happens to the one he has now.
but then again it only has 60,000 some odd miles.

A man I work with recently purchased a Camry All-Trac off of ebay with 49,000 on it one owner. Car is in perfect condition.

i have a 92' corolla LE, and i have been on here for a while now like almost 2 years, and i am still not quite shure what the difference between a corolla and an alltrack is? is it just a wagon or what? what makes it different? it cant have allwheel drive or anything crazy like that, so does anything really make it better?

yes it is all wheel drive.
they did come with it.
it's not the greatest allwheel drive set up.
but it's better than nothing.

I had the same problem on my 96, went to ebay and got a cheap one. I've had it for about 9 months and no probs yet.

***REN69*** · 11-06-2006, 04:34 PM

does the ALL-TRAC have the same header as the regular 4AFE sedans/coupes???

If so just pick up a couple of cheap Headers off ebay.

'88ROLLAGTS · 11-06-2006, 05:55 PM

my 90 4afe sedan cracked 2 stock exhaust manifolds. one happend when I was forced to jump in and take off quickly while the car was still cold. At least thats what Ive heard to be the casue for mine.
I had trouble finding a third stock one so I went with a pacesetter header and have had no issue since. It was ok for price.

Indeed they are all wheel drive! This is the reason I own it. I live 5 hilly miles from the nearest paved road, and in the winter I never spin a tire. I've got 250k on it and get 30 mpg. I don't know why they surrendered the market to Subaru
