Default APN exhaust manifold?

ok. finally doing exhaust job next weekend. new manifld and dynomax catback.


i havent got the exhaust manifold yet. my options are junkyard for $75 or 4x4 parts for $160 but i really want to find one of those "APN" manifolds on ebay. i searched but i couldn't find APN. what am i doing wrong?

also, any advice would be great for the job. i've pretty much looked at every post about this subject so i feel prepared...

thanks guys,

calijeep chick

if you were anywhere near Lynchburg VA, you could have my stock one for 25 bucks. it's crack free and almost rust free.

Get some copper spray for the gasket and Locktite 272 for the manifold bolts. With that catback system you will like the APN. Run one myself and it does the job. I did put a piece of flex pipe in the intermediate pipe before the cat to reduce stress on the APN header.

O RINGS! You are playing with fire - literally - when it comes to the injectors. Get the orings. The last thing you want is gasoline spilling out over a hot exhaust manifold.
