Dude, it keeps getting worse!! I was looking the exhaust manifold over tonight and I see a crack in it! It wasn't near the O2 sensor that's why I didn't notice it yesterday. So now I for sure need a new upper manifold. I guess I will post here to see if anyone has one for sale cheap. If not, I might consider getting headers -- but I don't want to spend a lot and I don't want the headers to rob any low end power (cause we all know this 1.6L is weak enough down low). I also don't want anything loud. Boy do I sound picky!

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I see a lot of cheap headers on eBay -- wonder if any are decent?
Thanks for chatting with me about this Jafro. It's nice to have someone to talk to because my wife sure doesn't understand me!
