Cracked Exhaust Manifold.

I just confirmed I had a cracked manifold Friday and was wondering if it is better to get one from a wrecking yard or buy new? Also what would cause it to crack?

Re: Cracked Exhaust Manifold.

I'd junk yard it, just try to find a nice one without major rust.

Exhaust parts must handle a lot of heating and cooling, expansion and compression. Even brand new headers can crack if they are cheap or have a defect.

Re: Cracked Exhaust Manifold.

I checked a yard that has a wrecked 2004 but sadly the manifold and engine was already gone. I found a stainless steel header with cat for $378 with shipping from ProCivic. That way I can upgrade the rest of my exhaust for $300 more. Also quite a few weight saving items that are legal here in Missouri.

Around $200 and then you might run into the same problem.

Re: Cracked Exhaust Manifold.

save your money and go to the Yard!
they have some kind of warranty.

you could get your old one fixed and have a spare.

Re: Cracked Exhaust Manifold.

Okay. I just have to find one. Might be checking the yards along I-435 and I-70.

No I live in Western Missouri a 35 mile drive from Kansas City. Very few yards have a 2001 Civic or parts that match up. I haven't checked Ebay I will today though.
