thook44 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 i could use some help finding a new manifold for my legacy wagon. mine has the cat and O2 port right at the junction. i'm having trouble finding anything like it online. is there an alternative? one without the cat but with the port that will still be a direct fit? i'm going to call around tomorrow at some salvage yards with hope, but last i checked they had nothing as old as my car. thanks! ps. $100 +/- a few would be about right for the budget. otherwise, i'll just have to weld this one up, again. had it welded right after the junction under the head, but the weld is failing. so, not sure how long another weld will even hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I have a like new dual port Y-pipe. Don't know about the location of the sensor but could send photos if I have an email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmdew Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yep several dual port y-pipes available in CO 80919 if his does not workout. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Pulled the pipe off a shelf where it has resided for probably 15 years and surprise. Not a 2.2 Y-pipe. I had written on it "1999 2.5 RS". Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 the 99 RS exhaust will bolt up to the 2.2 engine but exhaust side i think differs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thook44 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 thank you anyway, john. not a proband, thank you anyway, larry. turns out the section can be just cut out and have a sleeve/repair section welded back in. i just didn't realize it possible due to the location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thook44 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 the 99 RS exhaust will bolt up to the 2.2 engine but exhaust side i think differs. right. the tail end section takes a sharp turn away from the direction this original manifold goes. iow's, right angle vs a straight continuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 right. the tail end section takes a sharp turn away from the direction this original manifold goes. iow's, right angle vs a straight continuation They should both bend. Other than the turbos, a dual port is a dual port as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) 90-94 have the cats welded to the y-pipe where 95+ Later the cats bolt on. 99 dual port y-pipe will fit and work if you replace the cats with 95+ type that bolt on. Might be able to cut the cats off and weld them to the 99 y-pipe but I'm not sure. These are both aftermarket but show the difference. 90-94 style https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4963221&cc=1430385&jsn=10371 95+ dual port https://www.amazon.com/Walker-52368-Exhaust-Pipe/dp/B001BS5XQQ Edited July 26, 2017 by Fairtax4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 that makes sense. Thought I saw one with an integrated cat before but couldn't remember where. Been a while since I've owned anything pre-95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thook44 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yep several dual port y-pipes available in CO 80919 if his does not workout. Larry out of curiosity, what would you be asking for one of those goodies? this repair is turning out to be more costly than i'd figured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thook44 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 thanks, folks, issue resolved. with this integrated cat thing, the easiest cheapest way to go will be to have a repair section welded in. but, now i know of options for the future if/when i actually need to also replace the cat. thanks!!!

thook44 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) just wanted to post some notes to this subject... got the manifold welded up nicely at a local seeburg .....from the split section at the head all the to the cat replaced. however, it still sounded like a lawnmower. took it home and discovered the muffler was toast. sounded like a can of dry beans rattling about once i got it off. got all that done only to find my motor mounts were/are bad. this contributed to if not entirely caused the need for this last manifold repair. grrrr. yeah...i've had a popping/clanking sound from the front end crop up during the time of this manifold issue. replacing a bad'ish 2yr old ball joint and fairly worn sway bar end links didn't fix it. and, since the rest of the front end has had complete renovations over the past year or so it had to be something else. a large pry bar revealed the culprit. the mounts must have been going bad for some time Edited August 16, 2017 by thook44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
