Hey Guys,

Started stripping the engine bay back to fix an oil leak, and found i had a cracked header (original).
I have removed the headers, but now i need to find a new set.
Does anyone recommend a good brand / shop to buy from? Most i see on eBay are for Manuals only; i have seen AT before, but not at the moment.
Any help is appreciated.

I don't understand why they would be significantly different? I have wildcat headers on my my car and from memory there's only one part #. They clear both the 4 speed auto and three speed auto.

I fitted these >>>> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Suzuki-Vitara-EFI-1600-G16B-91-94-4WD-4cyl-Petrol-Extractor-Header-/360545272508?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53f22c42bc to a sierra with G16B and auto without issue. Can't see why they would only fit a manual.

Send them a message and ask why they are manual only.

I know that the J20 extractors can be transmission specific, as they run a clutch slave cylinder on the manuals, which takes up valuable pipe room.

But the 1.6 has no such issue.

Thanks a lot guys. I have emailed those guys fatzook, hopefully i will hear from them in the morning. I will search around for some wildcat ones now as well.

Just got a response from the Ebay guys, the only fitment issues between Auto and Manual is that the AT has a 2 bolt flange, and the MT has the 3 bolt flange on the bottom end of the header, besides that they said it should fit.

And as a bonus, my Vitara has the 3 bolt flange anyway, so no idea whats happening there.

Well thats certainly not an insurmountable problem.

Where are you located? I think i got a good std manifold from my left overs

yeah i bought the ones off ebay for my vitara auto .

perfect fit

my auto also used the 3 hole flange

im happy for the price i think they were like $190 posted

Yeah i bought them on Friday, hopefully they make it too me next week sometime, no real drama as I have another car, so im not halfway through oil and filter, coolant flush and new radiator hoses, drive shaft replacement, and now headers replaced.

Thanks for your offer Wazz, but i think i will stick with the new ones, so cheap anyway.
