I just got this exhaust manifold really cheap off ebay. I made the assumption it would fit my 96' but can anyone tell if it would not work or any general reason not to use it?

I am also really interested in putting an APN exhaust manifold on, if I find a no name one on ebay that look identical to the $150-180 APN header but for cheaper should I buy that instead? Similar to this, I can't see a difference besides price and no/limited warranty.

I am also looking to replace my cat, upstream o2 sensor, muffler, piping, and many other things. One step at a time though!

Thanks!

 

I have the same question, kind of. My 99 has a cracked manifold and i have been debating replacing with a header or an AM cheapie manifold. I did find the APN here http://www.ineedparts.com/index.php?...oduct_id=15343

I am curious to see what opinions other more experienced XJ'rs have done.

This. It's a better design then stock plus its cheap.

 

Yeah I paid $40 shipped for this first pic and will need another $10 for the gasket


The links above for the APN and Sandmans Auto are the other 2 links i already had saved in my excel sheet lol. Can you explain the difference in this pic below than the one above? I can see where the two pipes join is angled slightly different, but is the metal/welds better quality too? Price is $110 shipped.


The ones like the pic below that look identical to an APN on ebay ship for $115 and is a greatly improved design than both those above I think.


I'm still really interested in grabbing one in this last pic, I can sell the first one I got easily.
