I installed a very nice Racing Beat 4-1 header on my '03 SE and now some one wants to buy the stock manifold. I have no idea what to ask for it; any ideas?
Thanks

Mazda put an awful cast iron exhaust manifold on the 1999 and 2000 models. I had one given to me and threw it in the scrap metal pile to be taken to the salvage yard.
The tubular manifold on the 2001 - 2005 model is basically a tuned header compared to that blocky manifold that Mazda put on the 1999 &
2000 models. I don't know how much power increase is achieved by swapping one in to a 1999 or 2000 model, but it may be worth doing for the improvement in looks alone. :-)This 2001+ manifold got $230.00 with a new EGR tube and free shipping.

It was probably closer to $150.00 in the seller's pocket after Ebay fees, the cost of the new EGR tube, and shipping costs depending on how far it had to be sent.

To the OP, I would try for something like $110.00 to $130.00 if the buyer is local since you don't have to ship it. Otherwise, at least $150.00 plus shipping since you need to buy the box, package it up, make the trip the the UPS store, etc.
If the buyer balks, you can probably get $150.00 or even more for it on the Miata.net classifieds, or try Feebay and see what it gets.
Good luck!

Good to know! The original owner of my 99 installed a JR header and I always wondered why. Now maybe I have a better idea! Thanks Christopher / PWS.
