Just In Case
If you have bought the cheap 4-1 header off ebay, let this pic be something to keep you inspecting.



Yes, that IS my O2 sensor you see INSIDE that pipe.

Because I am dirt poor and require my car for work, I am forced to JB weld the stupid thing back together.

If you find yourself having to remove your Exhaust Manifold [Header] for whatever reason, keep up with these 6 bolts



They are in proper order in the pic and on the proper line [top and bottom]

And buy a new gasket.

yup.. you get what you pay for..

if you wanted crap parts from china.. well.. you got em..

pay a bit more and buy it once.. or pay a little less and buy it twice..

i've got more sayings.. LOL

lol. no it was on the car when i got it. it lasted a year. like i said, i'm poor so my repair will hopefully hold until i can get an actually GOOD quality one.

busted....hey shiano..i got an exhaust setup i would like u to try..but u know what..b4 it gets crazy..i wanna see what inputs are on this thing..ok its for single pipe exhaust only.

its similar to the resonator setup that u had received from mcgyver...but this is slightly different..after the Y-pipe, get two offcenter pipes...this way the flow goes offcenter..then comes back to where the original center lies (do this for one side) the other side should just have a regular straight pipe/resonator. then return it to a Y-collector then continue on towards ur other pipes. this should give u a nice sound...definitely not rice. its purely theoretical and based on sound, so it may not sound like a V8, but it will be a lot different...along with ur dynomax..it shouldnt sound bad at all. im going dual exhausts...so i wont be able to do it...(i dont have room for four pipes anywhere underneath that car). please, i would like some input.

ok. Header has been repaired!

WOOT!!

Go experienced welder [step-father]!!!!!

I'll know for sure within the next few days if it'll hold or not [should].

I would love to experiment. One small snaffu though: Benjamin Franklin hates me right now. lol. Once I get my test results in [they should be good], I'm going job hunting. Right now, I'm having to deliver for Pizza Hut. What's funny is that we have 8 pizza places here, and 6 deliver. Thankfully, the drivers of the past 4 years have destroyed the reputation that i created for on time deliveries so I don't get near as many deliveries as I used to back in the day. That means less wear and tear. That's the reason I chose to come back to Pizza Hut during my 'employment bridge'.

Good luck!
