Unbolt the heat sheild covering it. The stock one is actually a header and not a manifold. You could polish it or ceramic coat it (someone's already done it). Buying one from a company would too expensive for the horsepower you would get (if you want power), and you could make the stock one look good for 1/3 of the price if you want looks.

Nope the DOHC and SOHC manifolds are different. Ours is cast.

The header for the 2001 protege 1.6 DOHC is a perfect match for the mx-3 1.6 DOHC look around on the net you can find one easily.

to my understanding that the stock header is very efficent & there is no real gain in putting on a new header

& what engine is in the 2001 protege
& how do you know it is a direct bolt on

our manifold looks pretty restrictive to me and why does it have to go right into a cat. convertor ? :froggie_red:
