OK, first things first before I make anybody upset:
I would like to be able to find these relatively close to me so that I could make the purchases in person. I'd like to exchange cash for goods!! I may have posted this in the wrong section; maybe this should be in the South East BUT

I am willing to send a cashier's check via US Mail to someone that can provide the parts for which I am looking, so therefore I posted it in the Classifieds.

I want the factory SS 2.0 or 2.4 exhaust manifold or a used header in good condition. I also want an SS 2.0 or 2.4 downpipe with the cat intact. I want to increase the exhaust flow on my 2.2 and this should be an economical way to compliment the cat-back set-up I currently have.

Reply to this thread, PM me or e-mail me at CS21211@aol.com.

 

I will have that stuff availible next week for cheap. If you want to try to work something out let me know.

 

PM sent

 

I have the stock manifold FS...PM me if interested

 

I have the stock header, but my dpipe is fuct.... clogged cat.

Hit me up if yer interested... I'm in Myrtle Beach

 

ok, as of right now, I'll probably be buying both the exhaust manifold and downpipe from "shawns94" and have them shipped. It all depends on what shipping will cost and how much members want for his/her OE parts.

Thanks

 

Currently, I am still waiting for the cost of shipping for both the downpipe and the manifold from "shawns94" to me; then we will negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the parts. Others may feel free to make offers.

 

Ok, this will sound dumb, but the exhaust manifold and header are different things, right?

 

how much is a stock manifold and DP worth? if i were to sell mine

 

Yes, the exhaust manifold (like a header but OE and more restrictive) bolts to the cylinder head and connects to the downpipe. The exhaust manifold collects the exhaust gases from each of the 4 cylinders and brings them together in one outlet called the collector where the downpipe attaches.

Depends on how willing one is to part with the OE parts. Depends on how badly someone else wants it. How much are you willing to let it go for and how much is someone else willing to pay for it. I'd say around $75 -$125 shipped is reasonable, IMO.

 

It is usually better to add a better header or manifold 1st?

 

huh? you get either a header of manifold

 

A header is an upgraded replacement for an original equipment exhaust manifold. They serve the same function/purpose. The OE manifold is the economical way of doing it and the header is the more efficient way and the more powerful. I am upgrading my smaller OE 2.2L manifold to an OE SS manifold; the SS manifold is larger and will allow increased exhaust flow, as will an SS downpipe. I have already installed an SS catback and replaced the muffler with a Flowmaster Super 40. One might ask why I want to install SS OE equipment on my 2.2L rather than an aftermarket header and downpipe. Anwer: COST. I will eventually buy an aftermarket header and downpipe. I am doing what my budget will allow at this time.

 

Ah, thanks for the explanation guys. +1 for you!
