please elaborate.
you are saying that if one drives without an exhaust manifold, it will cause damage to the cylinder head?
Without the exhaust manifold/header there to direct the hot exhaust gasses out and away from the head, you will eventually burn your exhaust valves, not to mention the unreal noise, smell and mess created under he hood.

In the US it is a $10,000 fine for violating the CAA, and the Cali cops are all over that. It could burn the exhaust valve, but it would certainly melt all of the plastic on the passenger side of the engine bay.

A red flag goes up for me that someone has to sell parts off of there car to fix it.... kinda like buying a ferrari and not being able to pay for the service on it.

Red flag? Who gives a F? You don't know what needs fixed and how much it's going to cost, so how can you say he should buy a cheaper car?

To the OP: good luck with the repairs and welcome to s2ki
