So i removed my stock header heat shield today and this is what i saw







Tell me if thats a normal oem header or an aftermarket (doubt it)?? i remember all the exhaust port combine in a thick cast housing.

If that is the stock exhaust manifold you guys get over there, it's much prettier than mine. Mine's a big cast thing. That, to me anyway, looks like it's a custom-made set of extractors.

You must have 1.8L engine. All 1.8L came with catless manifolds. It's almost like headers!

That's not stock. Stock is a massive cast iron setup that cracks easily.

Edit: Nevermind. I didn't know the 1.8s got a different manifold. I could have sworn my brother's 1.8 was the same as mine.

Rd1tib

Yeah its a 1.8l. i guess i dont have to get headers. haha
Odessit- so your saying the 2.0's have cat right after the manifold and another underneath the car?

OdessitPashka

I can't guarantee that every one of 1.8L has this manifold, but for the most part yes. FordFasterr on EXD has this manifold on his XD.

Yup. All 2.0L has at least 2 cats. One in the engine bay and another one right after the downpipe.

OzFxCoupe

Not ours. We only get one cat under the car.

I guess after the Rev'A tiburons were made, they needed softer and cleaner running tiburons.

I'm talking about US tibs.

rd1tib, for better performance you can take those headers off, clean them a bit, and even port a little.

Rd1tib

oddessit- Maybe.. it dont look like there is much to port. I doubt it'll make much of a difference. Im probally going to clean/Prep them and paint them, maybe powdercoat.. just not at this time.
