So i removed my stock header heat shield today and this is what i saw
Tell me if thats a normal oem header or an aftermarket (doubt it)?? i remember all the exhaust port combine in a thick cast housing.

If that is the stock exhaust manifold you guys get over there, it's much prettier than mine. Mine's a big cast thing. That, to me anyway, looks like it's a custom-made set of extractors.

That's not stock. Stock is a massive cast iron setup that cracks easily.
Edit: Nevermind. I didn't know the 1.8s got a different manifold. I could have sworn my brother's 1.8 was the same as mine.

I can't guarantee that every one of 1.8L has this manifold, but for the most part yes. FordFasterr on EXD has this manifold on his XD.
Yup. All 2.0L has at least 2 cats. One in the engine bay and another one right after the downpipe.

Not ours. We only get one cat under the car.
I'm talking about US tibs.
rd1tib, for better performance you can take those headers off, clean them a bit, and even port a little.

oddessit- Maybe.. it dont look like there is much to port. I doubt it'll make much of a difference. Im probally going to clean/Prep them and paint them, maybe powdercoat.. just not at this time.
