My flex pipe broke on my 2006 MCS and it sounds like total ****. I've checked a few junk yards but someone has already swiped the manifolds from the donor cars.

Now my question is has anyone tried this no-name combo from eBay? I'm guessing the chances of throwing a CEL are high. Any recommendation or leads for used but working mani/cat combos would be helpful. I don't want to spend a lot of money at this point.

Have you tried searching on www.car-part.com? I did a quick search on there with my location and over 10 popped up. Try your luck on there.

 

Thanks. I found one somewhat close to me. Hopefully something works out.

 

You're welcome. I've had a lot of luck using that site for used genuine parts. I hope it works out.

 

seems like a replacement for the OBX header, theres a huge thread of that in the modifications section, lota people like it, especially for the price.... gains to be had? some but not much I would imagine
