Default New exhaust manifold

Have a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4.0L and I have to replace the infamous cracked exhaust manifold. What is the best aftermarket exhaust manifold replacement, and preferred gasket...?

I replaced mine with a cheapo manifold off of ebay with the gasket that came with it. No problems yet.

Just make sure to take caution when removing the studs, there is nothing worse than snapping a manifold stud

I installed this one http://www.1aauto.com/1A/ExhaustMani...yOnPageContent
I'm happy with it, and it includes all the gaskets and hardware you will need. Be careful when you set the intake manifold back on and make sure it is aligned on the pins properly. When i first installed mine i had a massive intake leak and almost blew up the engine
