Review on Dorman 674 224 Exhaust Manifold Kit by Jeff Diaz

This kit was incomplete when it arrived. I understand that I could go back, but there wasn't time to go back and get a replacement for all of this. Revain doesn't do part returns, so I just bought an exhaust manifold gasket and all the bolts. Also the exhaust manifold is not very well designed. The heat shield is irregular to the point where you have to improvise a lot to fit the screws. As a side note, the bouncer's exhaust flange bolt/nut combination (part 03104) does not have long enough threads in the middle. This will strip the nuts on all three. The lock washer fixed the problem, but it took a lot of extra work after we figured it out. Luckily I bought them from my local parts store and the replacement was pretty easy. It was supposed to take 2-3 hours, but for the reasons above, it spanned maybe a month of work, shopping, and improvisation. I've had good luck with Doorman products for power windows and such in the past, but it's been terrible. I'm glad I got rid of this car and continue to drive.
