Default Need a manifold for a 96

Looking for options on a new exhaust manifold for my 96. Ya it's cracked, not looking for performance just something that will last and not cost an arm and both legs, Thanks

Mike

You may want to check out the transmission mount to see if it's shot too.

Any oem replacement should do for you,And like said check your engine and trans mounts when they go they end up cracking your exhaust manifold.

I'm starting to think their is no one good option to this. Some are expensive some are cheap. Some look alike and have different brand names on them. Most forums on the internet you can read where they all cracked no matter brand name or cost. Very confusing.

I'm about to buy banks revolver Headers. Best price I can find is Amazon. If course with enough searching I've seen a couple cracked, but I found a guy on naxja that has used the same header in at least 3 jeeps. He does KoH and I'm almost positive he races and competes competitively.
