2001 LX Sedan 5spd

Ok, so my exhaust manifold (converter as Honda calls is) is cracked way bad and is making my car sound like a clunker. I've tried to braze it, but it just keeps growing. I'm going to order a new manifold from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and replace it.

Just a quick question, do I need to get a new gasket for it? I might as well cause they're cheap.

Thanks.. utahbmxer

i would say just get it, a new part is always better than a used one.

yes, i would get a new gasket. if you dont replace it, you could get another exhaust leak.

Yes you need a new one. If you're in an emissions state, get an official record of the fact that you're having the converter replaced due to a failure of the previous converter.

Does your car sounds like a gokart when you're accelerating?
Does your idles low when you start it up warm?

your car should idle lower warm then from a cold start, just a heads up
