Take Care

I'm not certain if there is a difference with those engines, both are W11. Someone smarter than me should be able to answer that for you. I would just lookup the part numbers for the exhaust manifold for both years and see if they are the same. Yes, still in Cobb county; if you need an assist when you get your parts, just give me a shout.

I got my new catalytic convertor and manifold today. Somehow it looks smaller outside of the car. Just curious, what is the small expansion in the pipe between the flex pipe and the catalytic converter. Is it a second cat?
