How much $ to repair exhaust manifold? Just curious

Sent from my iPhone using NAMotoring

 

$1,136 shipped and 2.0 hours of my time. I ran 3.0 but 0.5 for the oil change (since its on the ramps) and 0.5 for the neighbor coming by to see what I was up to...

At the dealer, I believe the part is $1,250-ish. $1,353 with tax.

Around $500 or more to install.

 

Wow! Hope mine doesnt go south - knock on wood! I work for a car dealer but not a BMW/Mini I can save on sales tax & my labor rates are $35/hr. But still OMG

Well, if you are handy, it isnt that difficult as a DIY! I did a step by step in my thread (below) with pictures IF interested.

If you have 2.0 hours to kill, it is straightforward.

Otherwise, it is pricey.

 

Was drawn to ur pics cuz mine is yellow to w/black top. In some of ur pics the top is white. did u paint the top black? Mine isnt an S but color similar

Oh no, I have a black top from the factory. I think what you are referring to might be a reflection from the sky/sun.

Oddly enough, that manifold is the same P/N for the S and the Cooper.

 

No I confused ur pics with the Austrailia post - oops.

Still enjoying my mini

 

Added the JCW matte grill set today!

 

It is a pity that there are not many Liquid Yellow MINIs left on this forum. Bummer…

 

Yea, its was the original New MINI yellow. I dont even see many mellow yellows.

 

 

Yes, i know, I dont the Hot Orange at all anymore, might see 1 or 2 on MTTS 2016, saw about 3 on MTTS 2014.

 

You're serious about the yellow automobiles, I see.

 

Yea the yellow crx.

 

Haha it is a character flaw… haha Actually, when going through college, the girlfriend (now wife) and I had a yellow CRX and a black hatchback Si. At some point we all grow up and we sold off the hatchback to buy a Civic and then Odyssey. Being under duress, I was forced to sell off the CRX to a guy in Los Angeles. At the time, Honda was boring (some could argue still) so I wanted a hatchback. Gravitate to the MINI. Ordered it in Liquid Yellow. After time, kids are older now and the fact that I have a third garage space… I have closure issues… Time to go hunting for that yellow CRX I never finished. So now I am back to having my CRX and my harchback.

So in 10/2011, I found the CRX up in San Jose, CA. Flew up in the morning to purchase him and drove him back to Phoenix. 1 day operation. The rest as they say… is history! Haha

Yes, I have a thing for yellow…

 

LY for life Followed by Hot Orange

 

That's a great story. I really wanted a yellow VW Beetle (original) when I was a kid. I had a red one, but reallly wanted a yellow with black top convertible. Maybe someday...

 

My girlfriend has a liquid yellow 04 MCS. I'll have to get her on the forum. I'm working on trying to trade my 350z for a MCS and a little extra cash

 

As much as I like his car, I can't let AZ dominate this thread by himself.

Put 600 miles on my LY this week. Enjoyed every minute.

 

Thank you.


Get her on here! We need to bring Liquid Yellow back! Haha


Haha Nice! Great looking LY/W MINI! Wow, 600 miles in a week! That is a lot of motoring!

 

lol. Awesome. LY with white top and wheels looks great.

 

Mine, well it doesn't look quite like that now, but very soon. (currently missing all to "go" parts in the front.....)
