Thought I had the correct front Manifold but it has turned out to be a REAR Manifold. Needing to purchase one in a bad way. I would even purchase used headers if some were available. I have the car torn down currently and the manifold is to bad to have repaired. It has been repaired before and someone hosed it up.

I can be reached at whalj2@outlook.com.

I tried to warn you in your previous thread... WTB V6 Rear Exhaust Manifold NOS would be fantastic

Yes and the manifold I purchased from a long time member of this site. I did not realize that it was the wrong one until I pulled it off to replace it. It was a NOS in a box and with the understanding of the member's experience stating that it was the correct one, I never opened the packaging to look at it, I have wasted my time and money the money thing is not the big deal. I just can't believe the dishonest and or lazy people today. I have never ripped anyone off and I'm not a kid, and although new to the Fiero world it seems that I have run into way to many experts that don't know **** . You can bet you ass that it won't happen again.

I sent an e-mail to you, I have a perfect condition one I had pulled from a junk car for my sons 87GT, but I am now installing a 3800SC so I no longer need it. I will sell for $10 plus the cost of shipping. Please call me at the number I provided in my e-mail if interested.. Curtis

I don't know the fella you bought the manifold from, and I don't know what the two of you may or may not have communicated with each other... but you did request a rear exhaust manifold, and that's apparently what you got.

The point I'm making is that there is nothing inherently "dishonest" with the overall Fiero community.

Anyway, I hope the repair of your Fiero works out.

Sorry that the one I had for you was still the incorrect one. It is the exhaust manifold nearest the trunk when standing behind the car if anyone else is interested.

I think I have the correct one you need. Came off my 87 GT when I installed the headers with my 3.4 swap.
(I removed both stock manifolds so if they are both still there I'm sure I have what you need)
I need to take look in the garage this evening. If I have it, it's yours just for the shipping cost from Tampa, FL. area.
If for no other reason than to renew your faith in the Fiero community.....

Okie Dokie

Sorry it took me a couple of days to dig through the mess, but I found them.
The trouble is I can't remember which one is the front and which one is the rear!

I'll have to match up the port spacing with my headers unless you can I.D. the one you need from these photos.
The manifolds are in pretty good shape as far as I can see.






Anyway, just PM me your full shipping address and the one you need is yours FREE.
I'll even cover the shipping.

If anyone needs the front manifold let me know, I'm feeling generous.
All I ask is that you don't turn around and re-sell it.
Be considerate to a fellow Fiero owner who may be in need.
Only ask for it if you really need it.

This is to Patrick's remark. I purchased a rear manifold on this site about 3 weeks ago because I found a crack in mine. The "Front" manifold that I purchased was almost six months ago and it was listed as NOS Front Manifold "factory recall kit" which it was just not for the front manifold or the left side manifold or what ever you want to call it. I paid a little more for it since it was NOS. When I received it I did not check it. Shame on me. I did not have words with this person and just started looking for another manifold. I just want to clear that up. Life is to short for stuff like that. Just want to let you know that I'm not that type of person but the world is full of them.

Ummm, I'm a little confused about what's been said, but nevertheless... all I'd like to see is for everyone get the part that they need without any confusion or hassle so that they can end up contented with a functional Fiero.

Randye, nice to see you step up to the plate with your kind offer.

Enjoy!
Happy to be able to help out a fellow Fiero owner

Randye, you're a true gentleman!!!

I rounded up a set that I had too!!

Since we're feeling so generous, anyone got a rear stabilizer reasonable?

I'm not far from the member at Indian trail, I thought about heading that way
to look for a cavalier 5 speed. I could've dropped these off!

I have just had someone PM me about needing the left side manifold next to the back window or firewall side. That is the manifold that I need to complete my build that Randye was so gracious to supply. I do have the RH or manifold next to the trunk from Randye that I will send to someone in need of it for free, but as Randye stated it is not for personal gain to resell but for a real Fiero Forum user's need. If you still have the left side manifold please PM the details and I will have him get in touch with you. Thanks....

I just gave the set I had to a local friend with a 4 cyl, converting to a 6!
I have another set on a parts car out back, I'll have to get it off,but I'm having a back
procedure done the first of the week. Can he wait a week or maybe 2?
