Hey Guys ...

Just gathering some info on replacement exhaust manifolds.

The aftermarket ranges from 150 to over 500 for headers.

I can get a Dorman stock replacement for cheap.

Cheap Stainless headers can be brittle, and crack as well.

When I first acquired my Jeep, I removed the manifold, and welded up all the cracks. In fact, I also added some triangle braces in between tubes to help strengthen the manifold.

It has held up well, but other cracks have come back.

So it is time !!

I would prefer a 'header', but the Dorman with bellows seems a good choice too ?

Anyone care to chime in on what they/friends have used ??

Thanks !
