Where can I get a 3rd Gen Exhaust Manifold?

Standard or aftermarket.

I just need one because mine's blowing like a Dutch hooker.

Can't seem to find any..

Aftermarket... The grand old U.S. of A.

OEM... a UK Breaker.

You should be able to pick up a cheap aftermarket one off ebay, probably from the U.S. as Nathan says, but shipping is surprisingly quick and they're not bad quality. I have one on my aerodeck that I paid less than £100 for and it's been no trouble at all.

I'm in Tonbridge, Kent.

I think I've only ever seen one on ebay for the mk3, and postage was like £150 on top of the £100 manifold.

I'll keep an eye out though.

How comes it's blowing? Cracked?

I'm pretty sure it's cracked. Can't get a good look but i can feel air coming out the bottom but not around the head.

It's pouring exhaust fumes through the heater, so I have to wrap up warm to drive haha.

Thanks!

I'd probably prefer an aftermarket one, just cos I like shiny things.

But I'd still take an OEM one at a good price :)

Hopefully this link will work

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 1107252297

This is for sale in the states and there are many more like it. There is no shipping quote but in the description it says that they ship worldwide. Be prepared to pay tax on delivery though.
