Hey guys it's been awhile since I've been on. It was quite a suprise to see the format change. Seems pretty cool? Anyway my Ty has a cracked passenger side exhaust manifold and I would like to get it fixed for spring. It's been about a year and a half since the poor thing has seen the road. My question is does anyone have any suggestions for a fix? Before I get the odvious response I would like to do some vortec heads and other mods while retaining the stock turbo. So is my only option to keep the manifols and deal with the restriction?? Or does anyone know of another route without spending a grand on headers. I think while the exhaust is torn apart I will have the local shop bend me a 3'' downpipe. I have been kicking around the idea of selling it but I think after one drive around the block I will lose that urge. Thanx for the feedback in advance.

Re: Exhaust Q

i don't think the best idea is to use votec heads yet retain the stock cam and stock exhaust then use the stock turbo...it just sorta defeats the purpose IMO. You can' probaly find a set of used ATR headers for 6-700 but maybe not. If you want to be stock, stay stock and save the money unless you really want to do things that will help your performance...such as cam, heads, headers, bigger turbo....as for the stock manifolds, i'd think a exhaust shop could fix them for a decent price, espically if you take them out yourself.

thats just my :2cents:

Re: Exhaust Q

Well I don't want to get to radical with the mods cause I don't want to dump all the money into the computer and parts to tune it properly. I just want it to breath better, ie heads and valvetrain. Correct me if I'm wrong but if I go with a bigger turbo I'll have to get the proper chip and program to deliver fuel and also upgrade the the fuel system. I know its not as simple as throwing the parts on and going. If I want to play I gotta pay$$, right.

Re: Exhaust Q

After doin some checking in the sale section I've come to the conclusion that I will probably be fixing the manifold. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to weld it. I know with it being cast that special rods are required but beyond that I'm clueless. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx.
