Re: exhaust Sign In

What do you mean by broke inside the manifold. Is the bolt broke inside the manifold? Or is the manifold broke? Or is the pipe that connects to the manifold broke?

Re: exhaust Sign In

Don't know Kia at all but is this an smaller tube that puts air into exhaust manifold the rusted/broke right at the heavier casting of the exhaust manifold? If so, depending on how that attaches you may find a kit to fix this, or might have to get a piece out of manifold for a new pipe. Little can thing seems like it might be a check valve and may or may not come with replacement parts and be difficut also to reuse if this is all what I'm thinking??

I agree with Tom. You may be able to find replacement parts online or at the dealer if the pipe will unbolt where it attetches opposite the maniflod. If not an exhaust shop should be able to weld a ne piec of pipe in place for relativly cheap. Good Luck
