joining the mainfolds suck club.

Aparently mine has a hole and is warped. It's gonna cost me $750 to get it fixed. looks like I'll find out if I'll get my money ($6.8k) from my parents or not sooner than later. If not then the world will be 2 people less.

What? Which manifold? Exhaust? Get a used one or grab a header.

[Voodoo.Priest]

From where? I'm so jammed up with school work I don't have time to **** around in the scrap yard. And I need it fixed a.s.a.p. cuz I need an emissions test done this week!?!

And ya, it is the exhaust.

[Deep]

JB Weld it to pass emissions. Who quoted you $750?

[Voodoo.Priest]

I don't have any welding equipment...

Speedy

exhaust mainfold $239.99
gasket $14.99
exhaust gas O2 sensor $237.99
studs $3.74
oxygen/gas $4.95
labour $74.99
tax $98.29

I might not need the O2 sensor cuz I think I might have a spare at home but I'm not sure.

I have an exhaust manifold on my parts coupe. if you want it, pm me.

[mr_sinister]

dude, you need to find a new mechanic.. or at least stop taking everything your current one says as the law.

JB weld isn't actual welding.. it's like this paste you can use to stick things together..

[Voodoo.Priest]

So where can I buy the after market O2 sensor? Crappy Tire?

[neil85AE86]

CarQuest sell cheap generic sensors, I've seen them for ae86 for around $50 CDN. All single wire O2 sensors send the same signal, it's only the mounting style that changes. I just bought a screw in one for my custom manifold it was $40.

Your mechanic is lazy or something, you could get a TRD header and a sensor installed for that kind of money.

In the spring I took my car to speedy to get them to fix a leaky weld which they'd worked on in the past, they said it wasn't the weld and quoted me $400 to fix the intermediate pipe. I took it home and took a close look... it was a loose hose clamp on the back of the cat, I tightened it up, no more problem. Muffler work is the easiest way to get ripped, you've gotta watch these guys.

Good luck

I was thinking the same thing. I'f I was going to get a new header then why not performance. I think I'll get a used one instead.

Pickup takeshi's manifold and get it installed by a shop that doesn't specialize in ripping the customer off.. cough cough*speedy* cough!! you'll probably end up spending about $250.
