Where do i find an exhuast manifold for a 1984 22r with the smog pipe that goes on top and has an o2 sensor and round exhuast ports? Ive looked everywhere and i cant find the one that looks the the one on my truck. its leaking and driving me nuts so i want to fix it. I cant seem to find any info when i searched. i know its not my gaskets ive replaced them all twice. my manifold is just shot and i want to replace it compeltly. please help!!

 

i would say go with a header but those anit cheap

 

elton is right if you can afford it. I have LCE on tacoma and 4runner, they are very high quality, and for me worth the money. thorley gets good reviews too. but if you are not concerned with performance at all, then you are probably better off finding the oem part at pick-n-pull. are they that rare to find?

 

In my personal experience it is extremely rare to find one at the pull yard around here that isn't cracked, or has some other problem. I would go aftermarket on this as every single stock exhaust I have ever seen, EVER, on a 22re has been cracked. Either at the manifold just above where it connects to the pipe, kinda rare, or on the pipe just below where it connects to the manifold, VERY common. Because of this, I too would recommend and aftermarket part.

 

Try here, they sell new exhaust manifolds.

ok... i have a problem, EVERY manifold ive looked at to buy has the smog tube that connects on the side. mine goes over the top and faces down into the manifold. i have round ports not ovalish ones and i have 2 holes at the flange not one and of course a o2 sensor. is there somthing special i need to know about to get the correct manifold? im getting very irritated listening to the leaking manifold knowing i have no clue where to buy one. i believe my truck is like march or april (somwhere around there) of 84 production stamp on it. ill get a picture of mine tommarow.

 

Where is it leaking?

Your manifold sound just like the one i had on my 83. But unfortunately i took it off like 5 yrs ago.

Is the face just warped that why the gasket will not seal right?
If it is something like that. find a decent paper type gasket and soak it in water for a few hours till it gets nice and fat looking. Install it and tighten everything down, warm up the truck and tighten it down again. cool it down and tighten yet one last time. The wet gasket will form itself around the slight imperfections. old time header trick. used it many a time on my old chevelle.

 

well i found a place that has every manifold known to man but they quoted me at 125 bucks for a used manifold that has been fixed which is kinda stupid. im thinking of giving it to the machine shop and having them deck the surface flat and check for a crack and weld it up.

 

I have that very same type of exhuast manifold. The 1 spot that I havnt heard anyone suggest is TAP Recycling
I got a thermostatic air cleaner from them. When I was looking for this part the wife called the dealer and they suggested contacting tap auto recycling.

 

And there is a real good reason for that.

 

finally got a manifold. of course it was used but this local company has EVERYTHING and they refurbish manifolds that are hard to get and unless there cracked which there junk then. they paint it and everything. cant wait to put it on and get my flowmaster on.
