Question, yesterday i was driving my truck home and the bolts where the exhaust manifold bolts to the pipe apparently came loose, correction fell out from where the guy who replaced the gasket before i got the truck. So on to my question, does anyone make a header for my truck 2.4 EFI SOHC or will a header off of an eclipse motor or anything fit?

In reality our original exhaust system isn't that bad, it's a 4 Cylinder version of the Tri Y, 4-2, 2-1.

While this may be true, we at shiny things Incorporated only like shiny things. :)



SHINY :thumbup:
But this picture was before inventing the warp drive pick up truck.
Then came a larger cooling system, more shiny things to make up for the loss of shininess (http://mmeierle.com/Rad installed D.JPG)once warp 5 was obtained.

I was the one who sold blindeyed the 2.4 header so he could have it reproduced. But when he went to have it done, the guy quoted a price of 400 to 450 each to make them, so they were never made. Check with blindeyed to see if he still has it - it was a custom made header with larger pipes for better flow.

$4-450 as essentially a custom piece ain't exactly bad, IMHO...but I guess that's just me.

And yes, shiny is a must. Shinnies gudder!

if you drive it in the mile with the fan off you will go faster and run cooler.
