Full Version: How can you tell if you have SS exhaust manifolds?
I have a set of 2.0L heat changers. I think they’re SS but not for sure, how can i tell? I have tried sticking a magnet to the outside of them and it doesn’t stick. Thanks

That should pretty much tell the story.
If they're shiny, there's a decent chance they're SS. If they don't have rust holes, there's a decent chance they're SS.
If a magnet doesn't stick, they are definitely SS.
I can't see if they are 1.7 style or 2.0 style, though.

Dave and Marty thanks....they’re 2.0 style. Appreciate it.
Thanks
Not to be picky, but those aren't exhaust manifolds; they are heat exchangers. And yes, they appear to be stainless steel.
Your correct heat exchangers.

Yes. 1.7/1.8 kick up at the back. 2.0 are straight.

I need to recheck them and check the pipe diameter. Thanks again for the feedback.
