    The dealer wanted my kidney in trade for the exhaust manifold. Finally, I searched the web and found a better aftermarket model with complete exhaust for less than 200 bucks.

    this is the second time I have had a problem with my exhaust manifold the first time was 2007 I got it welded. The second was in 2010 I got one on ebay and had it installed for super cheap the dealer quoted $800 I paid less than half of that. I think there was a recall but my year wasn't included according to Honda go figure. I got my O2 sensors replaced too.
