ok, heres the dilly, my exhaust manifold has been cracked for quite awhile, hyundai wouldnt fix it, even though its a recall without me paying for it. screw that, well a local has a 97, and hes not very lets just say, car smart, even though he thinks he is, so i installed a obx header on his car. i figured id re'use his stock steel piece, in place of my cracked cast iron one.

based on the headers on ebay saying that they work for the 97-01, i figured that it would bolt on. well obviousely his manifold didnt have the 1st o2 plug. so i cut out a hole, busted out my lincoln welder, and welded a o2 bung for the 1st o2 sensor. all was going good, i even took a few pics for rdtiburon.

well when i went to test fit the down pipe, what do u know. there quite a bit different, #1 its to short to meet up to my exhaust, #2 the flange on my car is straight, when the flange on the older version is crooked.

i really needed to vent, and just say im so tired of hyundai. if they would just fix the part that they have a recall on, i wouldnt be in this mess.

 

would going to a different dealership helped. looks like you went to a crappy one. there ARE good ones out there.

 

Definately go to another dealership... while most are asses, there are quite a few good dealers out there that treat you right because they want you to come back when you do have to pay for stuff.

i really dont know where the nest closest dealer would be. probably out near the chicago area. but it would be pretty hard to drive out there because i work a basic 9 to 5 job, and thats usually there hours.

 

heres a question someone might know.

i just double checked on ebay, and the headers are listed for 97-01, and they say they are bolt on, with no modifications. so why does the 97 manifold not work?

Do you have a right and a left nutsack?

Most people only have 1 sack, with a right and a left nut. in it.

stay on topic fool

i tried to fix it, u cant edit titles damn it

 

talk to your hyundai regional rep. they will get the problem fixed.

 

The dealer will fix it, you just have to complain very loudly to the right person.

 

after he's done all this work and welding you think they'll still fix it?
