My exhaust manifold gaskets were kind of flimsy and when I pulled on them they separated.
After some research I found this to be a common problem, with people usually experiencing rattling.
I unbolted almost all the top bolts and I'm planning on changing the manifold gasket.
However with the manifold off, I was thinking of maybe installing headers and found this thread.
The russian headers come to around $800 CAD which doesn't seem sane.
Are there any cheap ebay headers that would fit properly?
As I don't have my engine out, I can't drill and tap extra holes and I want to avoid this situation with exhaust leak

From 6 pages of this thread looks like the only person who actually installed the headers is e39_touring
And another person paid around $1000 for headers and catalytic converter.
Let's see if anyone else was able to successfully replace headers for cheap with a proper fit??
