Looking for a manifold for 2.0i

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Looking for a manifold for 2.0i

Post by bump_drft » Thu Oct 26, 2023 9:58 pm

My early model 2.0 has a hole in the exhaust manifold--two prior attempts to fix it have been unsuccessful so I'm shopping for a good used replacement.

Difficulty level of this is you have to be willing to ship to the states. The car is located in New Orleans, LA, USA.

Let me know what you've got. Thanks

The 2.0i - 8v exhaust manifolds do have a tendency to warp and crack, so obtaining a replacement might not be as easy and cheap as you may wish.
It may be easier and maybe cheaper, to have a tubular manifold fabricated.

Really?
According to YouTube, every Man, Dog and Grandma in the USA, has a metalwork fabrication workshop in their back yard.
