paddynewman Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Unfortunately mine has a gaping crack as shown below in quality paint format As im NA im happy to have the other headers pictured...apparently im able to have no cats...I still have the end cat, but a cat free header is fine by me If anyone has one, give me a price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra_Scott Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 By headers, do you mean the manifolds which bolt onto the cylinder head or the 1st cat pipe? I only ask as the part you have circled is the cat pipe flange. However if it is the manifolds you require i have a pair in good condition in my garage, i took mine off as i've now gone NA-T. They still have the sensors in if i remember right. PM me if interested and i can get them posted out early this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddynewman Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 i will 100% check tomorrow... ideally i'd like the entire set as they look very "worn" and rusty, i'd be especially interested if there was a whole tubular manifold But like I said, i'll double check. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Scott Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I've already sold the standard cat but have the origional manifolds if needed. PM me when you've checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I've just had a new custom manifold, decats and exhaust fitted so I have the first cat going spare with just the 2 adjoining pipes, not the manifolds, but it does include the area on yours which is cracked so if you still have good manifolds then that would do you. Basically I have what you've pictured above minus the 2x three pipe manifold arms. I have the second cat as well at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddynewman Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 i believe the crack to be on the bit circles, so its not damaged the actual manifold at all. So im guessing im looking for the first cat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Scott Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yeah sounds like the 1st CAT pipe then. Speak to neo in that case as i've only got the manifolds. Good luck getting it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Before fitting, poke the guts out of the OE cats, that will let a few more horses out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddynewman Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 As in murder the cat? Just empty the insides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yes. Just poke them out with a big old screwdriver, they are not needed, and this will get you half-way to the gains of new headers for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yes. Just poke them out with a big old screwdriver, they are not needed, and this will get you half-way to the gains of new headers for free. ive done this on ordinary cars before and found it gave a very tiney noise.

David P Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Before making my; from the cat back exhaust system, I drove to Russia and back with Autobahn88 headers and 3" decat pipe plumbed into a stock exhaust system. It sounded fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
