Wait for the kid to be 16 and try to take the keys, that's how I got my DeLorean
To you! Cat-delete exhaust is like a muscle car gathering every time I drive
It's worth noting there are a number of threads on the subject of best DeLorean exhaust with a significant amount of input and technical knowledge around them. There's a reason DPI exhausts sell like hotcakes. That said, driving a car with an exhaust leak right near the manifolds, I don't know, all it takes is a bit of unburnt fuel and air going the right way to start a fire. (Didn't we see a few of those? Or am I completely bonkers saying that? It's still troublesome nonetheless)
If you want another set of used manifolds, I do have both sides for sale from my own car. 4,641 miles of use, mostly sitting. Haven't figured out a price for them yet, but they're about $440 each on the DMCH site (123 / 456). That said, I would be more inclined in troubleshooting before making a sale of this dollar amount if all you realistically might need is an $8 gasket from DMCH and some time/effort in a swap.
If you're trying to fix a problem, an $8 investment is an ideal scenario. If you want more power/performance/look/babes*/stainless from your car, vendor exhausts are the way to go. DPI is my go-to choice, cat-delete is really only for the aroma of a car show. I don't think it affects sound (Josh? Mine's a rather unique setup with the cams and volume from said cams...)
