Meineke says that if it's disconnected or something it will be $200. Cracked and welded back together is $250 and a new one is $350.


Thoughts?

Vehicle is 2001 Ford Focus sedan with 120000 miles.


Symptom is rattling noise that sounds like it's coming from right under the center console where the engine would connect to the transmission or something.

What engine is in your focus? If you have the 2.0L Zetec then there are several different aftermarket headers available around the same price range. And if you have some spare change throw on a new intake and exhaust.

looking on ebay, it looks like you can get a header for a focus for ~$110-$150

That's the whole thing including labor.


Not really interested in aftermarket stuff. This car doesn't even have power windows.


It's the 2.0 I'm pretty sure. 110 hp.

thats not that high if it includes labor. Just snapping a single bolt off would be a huge pain, and they snap off all the time because of the heat soaking they deal with.
