Isn’t that technically a header?

Yes, but I have two engines and each has the header.

I’ll be reporting on this, but I bought the car with 68,000 miles and needing an engine for $1,700. Engine was a further $800 and I’m swapping it in my driveway.

All cars have headers.
Well, completely assembled cars do at least.

No, he means (I think) isn’t a turbo manifold technically simply just a header? It’s a clever joke delivered drily enough to be easily missed.
Or I’m finding my own humor. Cool with that too, tbh.

I still laughed a bit when i saw the lip around the mating surface towards the engine, just so you know they still tried to save money there. But nice man! Some of the escorts get a legit 4-2-1 factory, but mine has the 4-1 cast piece sadly.

With the unequal length runners of that header, I bet it would have a pretty solid subaru-esque burble if you opened up the exhaust/muffler

I am doing an LKQ swap and I’m hoping I wind up with a lowish-mileage car under $3k that my daughter can buy from me.

Long ago lots of leased 7 series BMWs like that b/c oil changes were $150 ... now BMW includes so they have something to CPO.

The Corvette is getting certified as track ready at the moment and I should get it back possibly today. Maybe we can celebrate firing up the van with some Corvette homage? Oh and I need yet another oppo sticker from you if you have any left and can find them.
My schedule is pretty free for the next week and then hell after that.

Check for understanding: you are saying that BMW now provides oil changes on their newer cars so that there is more inventory available on the used side of the dealer lot?

Lease vehicles especially - if the lessee wasn’t going to take care of it, BMW would - that way they could put the car on the CPO lot when it was turned in.

Interesting. Probably the same motivation for other brands who include the scheduled service for the first year or three. I never would have considered that.
Do you work in that industry?

The header flange is normally a thick piece of steel, while on yours they used a thinner piece it seems, but with the 90 degree bend around the edge to strenghten it so it’ll still be able to hold a seal.
