I just noticed the little crack on the manifold aint so little no mo. Where can I get a new manifold and which one do you guys recommend. I am kinna short money but dont want to get one that will just crack again either. Also is there anything else I need or need to look for when doing the swap other than gaskets and I will put in a new oxy sensor at the same time thanks Kim

By far the most popular Manifold on this, and many other forums is the APN Header!

Definitely the most "bang for the buck"!!!!

The only thing else i would suggest is using LOTS of PB Blaster on the bolts a few days prior to the swap, and buy New Bolts for the install!

I'd probably go with a E-Bay one. There's a header listed right now for $115, with shipping. Definitely wouldn't replace it with a cast OEM model. Should help with gas mileage also!

Sorry for the hijack, but does the above mentioned APN header provide better flow than stock? Is it a drop in fit or would one need a new front pipe?

Thanks guys

I would check your local bone yards since this is a common problem its not uncommon it find a borls. For the cost of a used stock one. The e bay one I have seen a lot and found one in a bone yard for $30. However I don't think it provides any gains but it won't crack agean at least

Exhaust manifolds for 4.0's are $16 at the local junkyards here but are "U-Pick it. U-Pull it"

You can get OEM style on ebay all day for under $100 shipped. It's not a fancy header but it does the job.
