Exhaust Manifold.
Ok, got a few questions here about exhaust manifolds.
First off, i would like to say that i want to make one. Equil length runners. 4-2-1 with a spot for my o2 sensor.
OK SO
1) what is the stock manifold made out of.
2) what grade steel do i use to make a manifold
3) can powercoat stand up to the head of the exhaust manifold
4) should i just cut the brackets off my stock manifold and have it powerdercoated?
5) am i crazy?
Thanks,
Bochek

2) T304 Stainless Oh Jeah. Need special stainless steel spool for welder.
3) Depends on how good of a powdercoating job was done. ceramic powdercoating likes to peel.
4) Lol believe me after time you will dislike powder coating.
5) Yes you are seeing that corksport already has mx-3 headers made.

HE HAS A SINGLE CAM WINGLEBEAST. LOOK AT THE FIRST POST.
calming down
The 4-1 is for the dual overhead cam.
The 4-2-1 is for the single overhead cam.
The only thing you would have to do Bochek is weld from the bottom of the header. This mani does have an 02 bung.

The ports line up fine on the probe headers. 2 of them are off by a few mm, but I doubt that makes a noticable difference, esspecially after you shave them down. I figure they would be just as much better as any other set of aftermarket headers in any other car.WingleBeast wrote:i heard the probe ones dont work well cause the ports dont line up as well. ive heard this before but nobody has dynoed it to see if it actually is better than stock
And everything i've heard about the genie headers is bad news. They are reported to be poorly made and they need to be welded to the cat (or a similar solution), they don't just bolt on.
