Exhaust Manifold Replacement?

[jimbobclarkie 0]

Hi Guys

 

I have to replace the exhaust on my 205 gti 1989

 

From past experience can anyone tell me if it is worth changing the exhaust manifold at the same time? I believe it is ok but it does look very rusty and pitted.

 

Thanks

its a cast item, so unless its cracked or warped just leave it be

If it aint broke, dont fix it

I had a Magnex 4-1 on a previous 1.6

 

Had it on for years and never had 1 fault. Sounded great especially when giving it plenty of pedal. Mid range and top end power seemed much better.
