Do any of you know Volvos? Plz HELP Exhaust Manifold Replacement
Hey all -- I have a normally-aspirated 5-cyl 20v 850 Wagon, which recently developed an exhaust leak at the flex pipe, which I gather is exceedingly common. Coming from a Porsche-tuning background, I figured, "well, as long as I'm replacing, I might as well upgrade," and bought the exhaust manifold-with-flexpipe replacement from OBX Racing. The part fit beautifully except for one detail: the Secondary Air System port on the side of the new manifold seems to be a totally different size diameter than the OEM part. What's the solution here? Is there a slight model-year/trim difference that I missed? Is there an adapter that I need to buy? Or can I get the Secondary Air System pipes from a different-year/model/trim Volvo in order to make it fit?
Any guidance you could offer would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!
