fix lights or exhaust?

[Niku-Sama]

ok i am gettin paid on monday and i want to fix my car but i am stuck, the 2 things on the chopping block are:

my headlights, Namely Driver side High beam to to a switch failure ~$150

my front exhaust manifold has a leak now that its cracked all the way arround ~$???

i do drive at night and the leak isnt severe but i am not sure what i should do first....the real deciding factor is the manifold, i dont have an idea about the exhaust and the light switch cost is with labor of my self putting it in.

I thought I had a cracked manifold. It turned out to be a broken bolt on the pipe connecting manifold to the rest of the exhaust system. Someone said the VG's are noted for breaking manifold studs.

Hi,

are you talking about the exhaust manifold studs?

[Drjmaxx88]

normally Id say exhaust, but since you dont know how much it will cost I think the headlight might be a better choice.

its not a stud, a few were replaaced even when they redid my cylinder heads but when the took the car apart i tried finding a manifold because mine was cracked and i know its cracked all the way arround now, getting noisier and noisier

hmm i just found a light switch for $80.80 =$10 shipping mabe i'll do both....where can i get a manifold that isnt a junkyard because the one that can get one are freakin arrogant lying bastards

[maximase86]

Well unfortunately, this is one of the thing that can't be easily handed to you on a platter. Tried www.carparts.com or something like that

It's an exhaust header.

Any search for auto parts will yield dozens sites. I have about 10-15 part sites in my favorites.

[Niku-Sama]

is that for both or one side?

[turboast4]

Dunno, you'll probably just have to call them for more info.
