[aircargoo]

hello....got new muffler and tail pipe on. was pretty easy. NOW...i need to change exhaust manifold passenger side. driver side fine for now.
anyone had this done? experences? im thinking mineki cause its a one day thing. $300 one side im thinking with me having new part.

$69 on ebay, 92 if i let my friend get it at yard. doing one side can equal $400 getting the 8 studs. exhaust manifold comes with gasket and 2 studs for y pipe.


let me know all....txs

Well, did that price include all new studs and removal of the broken ones?
Plus with you being located in a salt the roads in winter state - oh yea, all of them will snap off.

ok....done deal. one side. the leak was up in the front of exhaust manifold,blowing right on the a/c pump lines that enter pump.....which is probably why a/c stoped couple months ago. hole was 1/4 inch but sounded like chit.
$374.00 labor with tax + $52 for exhaust manifold from ebay.....shop drilled out every (8) stud which was included in price.
