Sirio tx.18 engine

[HumboldtBlazer]

Having trouble finding a replacement header/manifold for this engine as I damaged mine. The only place I can find it is on Trinity's website for $60 that maikes it more expensive than the pipe itself. Can I use another header or do you know where I can buy a decent priced one online?

NICE FIND! thank you very much. Sometimes I forget all about Ebay and I am looking for all this stuff on a online hobby shop instead. Thank you again as I just bought it for half of what Trinity listed it at. YOU ROCK!

You're welcome

Ebay is now the first spot I look for stuff, everywhere else is second best!!! Its pretty neat what you can find.

If you are REALLY nuts, start doing searches for TYPOS of everything. My dad found a set of wheels for my moms car by misspelling "Infiniti" on purpose..........no one bid on them because no one could find them

Yeah, like those guys selling TX .18 manifolds for half of list price

I can honestly say I havent been screwed by anyone on Ebay. But I've also shyed away from buying A) large things and B) from people who have any negatives in the last year or so. Most of the time it comes out to just a little more to buy it from someone else, which I wont mind paying for peace of mind.

What you can do is take your old 2.5 manifold and Dremmel out the inside that slides over your exhaust port so that it will fit on your Sirio. The inside diameter of the 2 manifolds is the same. This is what I did, and the thing kicks ass. Cheap way to fix it if you've got the extra part laying around.

How did you manage to damage the Sirio header?
The reason I ask is that I've got myself one and I will be fitting it in the MAXX pretty soon.

flexible shock towers are bad!
