    WTB: TBI Header or Mexican Manifold

    As title says I am looking for a header or better yet a mexican exhaust manifold from the TBI cars south of the border. I know these are very rare but if anyone has any or any leads on one I am very interested.

    The Mexican one flows better. The runners are much straighter than the US version. It is possible that the Flex Fuel vehicles sold in the US also came with these exhaust manifolds but I have never seen a flex fuel vehicles with them. I guess it wasn't actually on a TBI car either when it was sold in mexico because the Mexican cars had MPFI on their turbo and N/A cars

    Re: WTB: TBI Header or Mexican Manifold

    what about a long tube header that puts the turbo back in the stock location?
    Description from who I bought it from

    -custom collector, 4 to 1
    -primary lengths of 15" for #1, #3, and #4, with #2 about 19". +/- 1" for all.
    -primary are 1.5" OD, 16 gauge, 1.375" ID
    -entire construction is mild steel, TIG welded
    -Primaries were crushed to size and then inserted into head flange all the way up to the head surface, and then TIG welded INSIDE the flange. Same on collector pipe to turbo flange. I believe this greatly improves structural rigidity and improves durability.
    -Turbo flange is braced directly to head flange with TWO 1/2" dia. steel bars.

    Not a problem. Guess I didn't fully read everything (wife tells me this alll the time)
    I have a regular TBI manifold if you need one

    I have a regular one, looking to try and upgrade from that but I highly doubt I am going to find one

    There are several members of the various Turbo & FWD Mopar groups on Facebook that are from Mexico and sell stuff from time to time if you're so inclined to look there.
