Exhaust manifold

I installed a very nice Racing Beat 4-1 header on my '03 SE and now some one
wants to buy the stock manifold. I have no idea what to ask for it; any
ideas?

Thanks

good idea to check the prices at used part dealers... that $85 price was
for a '99 - '00. planetmiata has that part priced at $50. but the op said
he had a '03 and that is on planetmiata for $225. don't know what is so
special about the '01+ 'tubular' manifolds, but clearly planetmiata (who is
usually has very agressive prices) does. hope this helps...

Mazda put an awful cast iron exhaust manifold on the 1999 and 2000
models. I had one given to me and threw it in the scrap metal pile to be
taken to the salvage yard.

The tubular manifold on the 2001 - 2005 model is basically a tuned
header compared to that blocky manifold that Mazda put on the 1999 &
2000 models.
I don't know how much power increase is achieved by swapping one in to a
1999 or 2000 model, but it may be worth doing for the improvement in
looks alone. :-)

This 2001+ manifold got $230.00 with a new EGR tube and free shipping.

It was probably closer to $150.00 in the seller's pocket after Ebay
fees, the cost of the new EGR tube, and shipping costs depending on how
far it had to be sent.

To the OP, I would try for something like $110.00 to $130.00 if the
buyer is local since you don't have to ship it.
Otherwise, at least $150.00 plus shipping since you need to buy the box,
package it up, make the trip the the UPS store, etc.

If the buyer balks, you can probably get $150.00 or even more for it on
the Miata.net classifieds, or try Feebay and see what it gets.

Good luck!

Good to know! The original owner of my 99 installed a JR header and I always
wondered why. Now maybe I have a better idea! Thanks Christopher / PWS.
