Exhaust manifolds
Mine are completely rusted and one stud from the left manifold to the pipe is broken. I'm guessing all the gaskets are pretty worthles at this point too. I need to replace at least the left manifold but considering replacing as much as possible forward of the cat while I'm at it (If I can find a shop that's willing to do the job, both local shops I've asked so far didn't even want to talk about it).

Re: Exhaust manifolds
I'll try to get under there again tonight and get some pics.. it's scary looking. The manifolds don't have holes through, but the flanges are in bad shape and the studs/bolts are amorphous blobs. I could drill the stud out and bolt the manifold back to the pipe but...

Re: Exhaust manifolds
Do u mean the header pipes ? A good shop should be able to make new ones . I am talking a shop with a pipe fabricator not a parts replacement one like (chain Meineke , Midis and Monroe etc. ) they do good work but few can make a new pipe from scratch

Re: Exhaust manifolds
Sorry for the delay in posting the promised pics. I had to run down to D.C. after work (Philadelphia) yesterday. Stopped at work for a few hours on the way back home (poconos). When I got home I found that the flash flooding yesterday left me with water in the garage and basement and a new mountain spring gushing up from my driveway.
Tonight I stopped at an exhaust shop recommended by one of the shops that didn't want to touch the manifold. The guy at the exhaust shop told me they couldn't do it because they only do exhaust work - "on the bottom of the car." He acted like I was crazy for thinking the exhaust manifold was part of the exhaust.

Re: Exhaust manifolds
Hi, there were a pair of good looking manifolds going on Ebay a couple of days ago at $75 each.
