2002 Civic LX-exhaust manifold leak
hey guys..so as I am sure you've been told...these are apparently a common problem on the 01+ Civics...my car has about 150K now. I just had the timing belt replaced and shortly after I found out that the exhaust manifold has a leak...
On the LX and DX models...we have the 4 in 1 manifold then the catalytic converter right on top of it then the downpipe-so all 1 unit I guess...translated...freaking expensive
Ive phoned several shops across the border...Autozone, Napa etc and they average around $550 and some with lifetime warranty...Canadian stores average around $900+ for the same part...
Is it possible to have the manifold removed and welded as a cheaper alternative...would you recommond a store that has competitive pricing for this part?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks.

Try standard auto wreckers. I needed a Sebring exhaust manifold for the same reason, for quarter of the price, they ordered me a new one. Sounds weird since its junk yard and they are getting me a brand new manifold, but hey, as long as it bolts up and has no leaks, its all good!
