Cracked Exhaust Manifold

[goooopher]

My exhaust manifold is cracked and im looking for headers...I have a 1993 4A-FE 1.6L engine...im looking for cheap headers like under 200...i know some people have the one off e-bay...how are they? I'm not looking for something spectacular, just something to give my exhaust a little better sound and replace the cracked manifold...

For those who do have the e-bay ones, does it connect all the way to the cat or does it require modification and extending the header downpipe?
Thank you.

i got mine 4rm ebay $180. it comes with the header n the down pipe.
no need to modif...... it fits like a glove.

i got mine for $100 shipped and its great, the install was as easy as rotating tires and it gave it a little more pep.

yeah thats what im looking for...i figure just getting it fixed and a new manifold will be like 65 so why spend 65 for stock when i could drop 100 for a little more and better sound.

From what Ive seen those manifolds are stainless too.

i got mine for $80 shipped, just the manifold, not the downpipe.

Ebay headers are pretty nice

I paid 115 shipped for mine

thick flanges
mig welded

fit very well
sounds sexy.

Funny news, im only 19 and my dad said he'd pay for the parts if i got a new stock exhaust manifold haha and i got it and am not haveing trouble getting one of the bolts that connect the manifold to the down pipe out...i yanked on it for like 10 min and finally gave up bc i didnt wanna strip or break it...its in a wierd place and i was wondering if anyone had a suggestion at how to get the bolt off??? I think the threads may be a bit rusty...i have heard of hot oil on nuts that wont budge but for anyone that knows where this is, u know that isnt a possibility...any ideas without stripping/breaking the bolt?

impact worked for me, i used my electric one with an extension and it popped em loose without a problem.
