Exhaust manifold??

[Mark2811]

Hi folks, i'm new to the forum and i'm definitely new to almeras! but i've just bought a 2000 1.5 N16 as a bit of a project, and i can't find an off the shelf exhaust manifold. Anyone know where i might find one online? Or one for another model that may be a close enough match that i can modify it to fit myself? Trying to avoid having one custom made (but i will if i have to)
Thanks

Ebay, QG18DE exhaust manifold should fit.

Brilliant, Thanks! will this bolt directly on or will i need to modify it a little? I'm thinking of mounting a 200 cell high flow cat after the downpipe also, will this work? i dont see any reason why not, just want a second opinion

Not sure about the downpipe end, but the bolt/exhaust port pattern on the cylinder head is the same.

Good stuff. It looks like the bend at the end of the downpipe is going the wrong way but that could be fixed thinking of leaving out the middle silencer altogether, anyone else done this? Would it end up being far too loud?
