I bought my first car last year, and have been repairing all the small stuff on it since then, as there was nothing major wrong with it, besides a cracked Exhaust Manifold. Before buying it I was told, that this was no big deal. However, I've not managed to track down a single exhaust manifold that is legal in California. Been keeping an eye on craigslist and ebay, additionally I've asked 3 different mechanics in town. So far, zilch. I was wondering if there is some other car that uses the same exhaust manifold I could substitute for it, or something else? The vehicle is a 1996 Geo Metro 4 door sedan, with a 1.3L engine. Thanks for any help or advice you can give! |

Does yours have the cat directly on the bottom of the manifold? If so you're probably screwed. |

The Suzuki P/N is 14110-51G10. These have been discontinued. However, a phone call to these guys might just find you one. http://www.suzukicarparts.com/parts/index.cfm?make=Suzuki&year=&searchText=14110-51g10&action=oePartSearch&siteid=214820 Check with GM, also. Chances are, it's discontinued, but it's worth the try. In person at the counter works best. GM will have a different part number. These guys in New Jersey have something. It's a deal you can't refuse, from what I understand. ![]() http://abcopycat.com/node/8764 Don't forget the Russians. http://www.neoriginal.ru/search/num/1411051G10/brand/SUZUKI |

check http://www.car-part.com/ for used ones. be sure to call before you just head out somewhere as inventory gets updated randomly. Good Luck! |

The exhaust manifold in question has a catalytic converter that is part of the assembly. 14110-51G10 http://suzuki-cat.ru/?&action=detail®ion=CA&modeltitle=Swift&model=SW413&modif=@&gr=1&page=22 |

that's crazy that it's illegal to sell a manifold with a used cat.-as long as the emissions are below a certain level it should be good-a used cat is probably perfectly capable to keep emissions below a minimum threshold-sometimes envionmentism (sp?) goes too far- |

Just how knowledgable are the inspectors? Perhaps you could get a non caifornia manifold, add a cat behind that and get decent enough results to pass the test? Anyone done it? |
