Wanted: Stock manifold replacement

Rangermed175 · February 5th, 2010, 13:08

I bought a Borla manifold/header (i've heard it called both) about a year ago before doing much research about it. Apparently they suck despite being a top end brand, so it cracked and i have a nasty exhaust leak that is killing my mpg. Just wanted to see if anyone has a stock one laying around i can replace it with since aftermarket ones don't really help with performance and just crack. TIA

Rathys salvage has a 98 or 99 white wrangler that for hit on the front passanger side. im pretty sure most of the engine is in good shape. if you dont find anything you can try them.

If it is an I6 4.0 I don"t know why not. How far away are you from me? And how much do you want for it?

there is a difference in model years on 4.0 exhast manifolds. the later engines have 2 down pipes. I dont remember what year the change over is though.

mine is a two piece....

**03_rubicon** · February 8th, 2010, 11:13

03 was the first year they changed the manifold so 1996-2002 are one and they are the cheap ones and 2003-2006 are the expensive ones

**alteredxj** · February 8th, 2010, 12:40

2000 and 2001 Xj also used the two piece

no kidding lol! the stealership wanted $550 for the front one and $550 for the rear... I never order parts from those thieves

**xj287** · February 8th, 2010, 17:15

$550. for those? That's insane! I sell them for $150 each.

I ended up buying the manifolds off of alteredxj, they worked out great too, thanks to everyone that looked.
