Re: exhaust heater question
v8, it looks like a piece of thin metal wrapped around the passenger exhaust manifold that has the tube to the intake connected.

Re: exhaust heater question
Ah! That thing!
They're spot welded on. Grind off the spot welds and it'll fall off. Clean up the manifold with the grinder afterwards. |
