I’ve seen some pretty bad “headers” on eBay. Lol. I’d say these look more like a header than what came off my STi. Haha.

Air pumps on 3800's are electric, no belt. Here is a picture just to clear that up.

Makes sense. So the question still lies, what the hell is that tube for. No one else’s GP has it?

I'm not really sure at the moment. All I know is that the series 2 3800 was made from like 1995/1996 all the way to like 2005 and the rear exhaust manifold from pretty much any of those would fit your car. It could be something from a much older car that someone just slapped in there because it's all they could find.
If anyone knows, it's maybe BillBoost.

That’s a good point. Maybe someone got some bad info like “this older year flows better” or something. I mean, I’m going to do the front and rear p-logs, u-bend delete, MAYBE rockers. Nothing too crazy. The suspension I’m going to look into reviews on zzp’s spring/strut combo, then some nice sways. The road to work is curvy-ish, the road to go visit my parents is extremely curvy, so handling is priority, power wise, I think just that amount of modding will be safe and keep her going strong for a while.
I’ve had my share of built boy-racer cars, grew out of it. I used to be in to the massive systems as well, but over the last few years I just gradually get annoyed by them. I’m happy with my alpine set up I have in the car, might switch decks though as soon as amazon music app is offered on a stereo.

Wow, that's really strange manifold. I'm interested in what it is too. Looks almost homemade, doesn't it? I've pulled lots of parts off these engines in the yard and never seen anything like that.

I found that as well. It’s an orderable part. Weird. Only time I have seen stuff like that was on the older first gen 22R-E motors, and a lot of them on the 22R’s, but those bolted on separate from the manifold.

It’s definitely for air injection, but for a mechanical pump. It’s typically a carbed deal and 80’s and older.
