Exhaust Manifold/Down Pipe w/ Catalyst

My exhaust manifold recently acquired a nice crack, which led to it completely breaking off the cat near the flange that bolts to the exhaust. I'm looking for a used one but see there is a part number for a manifold with automatic transmission, and manual transmission on realoem. Is there actually any difference in manifolds? i have a manual transmission

Good question! Did you find an answer?

The down pipe on my '05 MCS split as well. I was able to find a used one from an '06 MCSa. The seller thinks they are compatible. It looks like I'm about to find out how different they are!

I just heard from the shop. They have tried to fit an MCSa manifold in an MCS and found that it didn't fit. There is a reason for two part numbers!

The seller of the MCSa manifold has graciously agreed to accept a return. If you need parts, check with Bahman. He's a terrific, stand up guy!
