what to use to clean exhaust manifold?
 

i would like to know the best thing to clean your e.m i use wire brush and apprently you use laquer thinner becuase it is bette rthe water water wrecks the e.m apperntly. what do you guys use to clean?

i say replace it instead of clean the stocker :D

what is the stocker plus my car is old so its not worth replacing

stocker = stock. the exhaust manifold will not clean up, it is cast iron. cast iron rusts insanely fast, i'd say you have 3 options.

1. deal with it being rusty and looking like ass
2. sandblast it or get as much of the corrosion off and paint it with super high temp exhaust paint (like black)
3. buy a header, they are as cheap as $40. look around on craigslist. i've got a dc ceramic header on my car now that i got for $50. the one before it was stainless that i got on craigs for $40. they are easy to come by for cheap.

Option number three!!!

odds are it is rotted away haha

what exaclt would i search on craigslist?

d-series or d16 header.

but my engine is d15b2 tho

all d series exhaust manifolds will be the same. the only d series that doesn't match up with the others are the d17s in 7th gen civics. anything d series you can use on yours. just search like "civic" and try in the auto parts section.
