Exhaust Manifold (RB25)

[r33skylinegtst]

Hey everyone...

Found out recently after a service at Integra that my exhaust manifold is cracked and i need a new one. Ed said that he should be able to find one for me, but he doesn't really know how much it will cost.

I've had a quick look around the forums and seen stock second hand ones go from $50-$300, but i'm curious if anyone here has had to have theirs replaced and how much it cost? Also if anyone has one that they're willing to sell then drop me a line

I figure it's easier to let Ed find it, as he knows his stuff and i can trust him with it. I'll be the first to admit that i don't know much about the mechanical aspect of my car, but anyways.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If it's not to bad you can use some chemi weld in the meantime

or take it off and get someone to weld it up, it may save you some money, but in the long run getting a new one or, changing your manifold all together might be better. Well from 500 to 700 you can get a nice peice of stanless steel mani or even top mount you turbo.

While i'd love to do something like that, or get a good aftermarket manifold, money is pretty tight for me till i can get a decent job, so i'm thinking a cheap second hand item will be the go. If only this came up two months later it wouldn't be such a problem for me.

Suggest you have a chat to Paul at Squig's Welding in Fyshwick - he'll tell you straight up if it can be welded and likely to last, or if you're better off replacing it.

Probably best if you can show him the damage.

Tell him JD sent ya!

Thanks for the help, Ed has managed to find one for $140 so i'm cheering. Can't wait to have my car boosting properly once again.
