Need Help Identifying Header!!!
So the 2 piece header on my D16Y8 rusted through the other day..
Was wondering if I should replace the whole thing (you all vote for this, I know) or if I should just try and replace the downpipe/collector piece since money's tight right now. The problem is, this aftermarket header was on the engine when I bought it and I have no idea what header it is. If you can figure it out, I'll be sure to send you my old rusty header as a reward! Yay!!
No clue if a stock downpipe will fit as a replacement or not, so if you know, please tell me!!
Thanks in advance!!

Found an old pic of the header. Apparently it used to have some sort of plate on it back in the day. Guess it rusted through..damn Canadian winters!! Maybe this pic will help?

oh wow, i know Quebec winters are very hard on cars and parts.
That header looks bad, i would chuck it. You should look into a quality stainless steel header to replace it with

okay, well if you tried to find a down pipe you would need one to match the same as the header.
as deetz said, save up find a Stainless steel header, or scroll through KIJIJI.CA ( since you are canadian) and see if theres one for sale used.

Definitely toss it...that flange looks like it's about to give around those unhappy studs.
If money is really tight...I know ebay isn't the best option but if it's what you gotta do...it'll be like 50 bucks for a new one.
