jat Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a new or used (in good condition) exhaust manifold for my Civic - the cat converter is attached. I have no idea which is a good make to get. I've heard that Dorman isn't the greatest and the one from Honda is too much money. Any ideas. Thanks
lookinforwalleye Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Time for a new car help support the economy!!!
bigbuck Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 What about calling one of the used Japanese parts guys out there?? An auto salvage yard?? The car is older and it's no sense in spending big bucks on repairs. Keep it running half decently, at that age, it doesn't owe you anything.
DanD Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Aftermarket Manifold with Integral Catalytic Converter The pricing doesn't look bad; no idea on the quality of the converter? Why is it you need/want a manifold; cracked, broken or bad Cat? These front cats on Hondas rarely go bad; unless the engine has been running poorly for a long time. Converters don't die of natural causes; they are murdered. LOL Dan.
ecmilley Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 I have installed the dorman ones so far so good, in scarborough there is a exhaust supplier called muffler express located on progress ave, 416-298-6444 give em a try, carcones auto recycling or standard auto wreckers may have one
Bernie Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 I also have had very good success with Dorman product.
DanD Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 I also have to agree with the guys that Dorman goes sell decent products. But when I went to their web site, I didn’t see a listing for an integral converter manifold assembly for the D16Y8 engine code that all Civic EX came with? Dan.

Thanks If you are located in the GTA try Japanese Used Auto Parts on Toryork RD and Milwick. they also sell new after market. I've used them twice I needed a power mirror – Dealer $420 his price $64. A headlight $35. Struts for my daughter's car $135 each side +80 to install! Mechanic wanted $700.
