downpipe and then you have to weld on the cat, plus an additional $10 for
the O2 sensor hole I believe. Rick Alexander already offered to give me a
hand with the manifold, not sure if he wants to get into welding and all
that...Also, this is a car I bought for $700 that has seen a lot better
days. As long as it runs well, I'm happy.
