Need a new exhaust manifold for my baja

Post by Huntsbe86 »

I'd like to purchase a new exhaust manifold for my 05 turbo baja. The oem one is alittle too beat up. I was just wondering what manifold is a direct fit on the baja since its very difficult to find aftermarket parts for it. Any help would be appreciated.

What a coincidence: I'm currently looking through various aftermarket exhaust parts for my NA!
Are you looking to replace the entire exhaust or just one or more pipes? Just from looking at the parts index, the Turbo exhaust looks to be almost entirely different from the NA.

Rockauto only lists the cat pipes for the Turbo... hmm.

Although, if this cat-back replacement on ebay is actually for a Turbo, the cat-back parts look very similar to the NAs... I'll need to do more research if this is the case.

You can use the manifolds from about any turbo subaru. There should be lots of good cheap used ones from wrx's for sale that will work And as long as you are down there, put on a catless up-pipe, it could keep your turbo from being destroyed if the up-pipe cat ever goes bad. The manifolds are usually pretty durable, if it's leaking it could just be a gasket since there are 6 of them in there.
