My daughter just bought her first car, a 2000 Mustang Base, AT. The seller is a long time friend of mine, who did not want to spend over a grand to replace a cracked exhaust manifold on the passenger side.

The car drove real rough on the ride home, and I assumed it was because the ECU was pouring more fuel to compensate for the exhaust leak. It sounded like a Harley.

We bought the Dorman manifold, and went to work.

The manifold came out fairly easy, but we discovered a melted spark plug...
