Cracked Header 944T

[Lawrence Coppari]

My exhaust header is cracked, and I would like to replace it with the newer style bellows unit. Can I simply buy a bellows header and bolt it on or are there other things that would need to be changed such as the crossover pipe, etc. Thanks for any advice. My car is a 1986 944 turbo.

I remember somewhere that your headers were covered under invisible warranty because of a design flaw, check with the dealer, also, if I recall this right, the newer style headers should bolt right up to the 86 block/turbo. If I were you, I'd call up the dealer, ask to see if they bolt up, and if they're covered under this special warranty, now there was no recall, just a (internal, not released) bulletin that states this part being covered, I dont recall for how long though. Hope this helps and GoodLuck.
