Default Exhaust manifold (bellows or no bellows)

I have an '87 951 that was built in late October '86. My #1 exhaust manifold does not have bellows.

Does this indicate that I have the same manifold as the '86 cars or the later versions? Is this the one that was prone to cracking?

Is it then likely that I have an '87 with the one piece cross-over pipe?

It would seem your car, as many others, missed the recall on the #1&4. More than likely you have the one pc x-over but take a look. My PO didn't take my car in for the recall either but I did update everything at my refresh.

Did the recall replace just the 1&4 or the entire manifold? Did the manifold have to be cracked in order to get the recall done?

Are these newer parts still available or would that cost as much as an aftermarket manifold? Is the heat wrap on 2&3 a stock item?

The newer parts are on ebay all the time, go for 125-200. Heat wrap is not stock.

This maybe a stupid question but what are bellows? I have an 1986 I have these things around there that are kinda like a spring but are closed all the way. Anybody have a picture of them? Thanks I figure I learn something new or try atleast.

A nice looking header on Ebay. The bellows are easy to see.
