[Roadsters] Exhaust header

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Brad,

1600 or 2000?  The factory manifold on my 2000 cracked at the weld between #2 and #3.  I had it welded, and it cracked again.  I bought a new manifold, and it, too, cracked at that same seam.  I replaced the factory exhaust manifold with a header, which has never given me trouble.

I have no idea what the reliability experience has been with factory 1600 manifolds.

  Would it be better to replace the factory header with
 one that is already ceramic coated or have the factory
 header coated ? My understanding is you might have to
 replace the starter with a shorter starter if you go with
 the after market header. I found the aftermarket coated
 header for $325. The stock header has a couple of crack the
 need some attention I can weld those and to have those
 coated is $175. But with the stock header continue to need
 repair for crack. Or just repair the cracks and leave
 alone.
 
 Thanks everyone
