If you want to remain legal & pass a VISUAL inspection or cold start up emissions test, you'll need stock exhaust manifolds. You may be able to find a set on these boards for FAR LESS than dealer prices - if it comes to that. I suspect your problem is most likely a gasket or loose header bolts, IF it's your exhaust.
ASSUMING YOUR MANIFOLDS NEED REPLACING...
If your emissions check does not include a cold start-up or visual, you have your choice of products and your car will still pass a warm engine sniffer test with the main cat alone:
1. You can get "mystery modded" manifolds from buckshotmotorsports.com and have them installed. The manifolds sell for about $80 a SET. There is a core charge that will be refunded to you when your manifolds are returned to buckshot.
2. You can pick up a set of aftermarket MSDS performance headers for about $650 and have those installed.
Good luck & welcome to CEG!!
