99 Wrangler - New Manifold?

I haven't done business with them yet but I've heard good things and their prices are great.

I was going to ask the same thing-also, does anyone have experience with the manifolds I keep seeing with the funny expansion brackets welded in? Thanks! At least my '99 sounds MEAN now :)

Have you checked to see if this is under warranty ? I believe that I have a cracked manifold or bolts and I have a letter from Jeep that has a service bulletin that applies to some old and newer jeeps. It states that I could be reimbersed for work already done to fix the problem.

Mine cracked, and I was looking at Borla (tried and true, pretty much the usual recommendation etc.). But I found a killer deal on a closeout of Thorley headers, so I went that route. If you opt for a replacement (instead of actual headers), just make sure you get one with the new design (some type of bellows system to allow for better expansion/contraction... probably the 'springs' you mention). As for price, I dunno... I just searched and searched and searched the web until I found the deal on my Thorleys.

Thanks for all of the responses, sorry I guess it would have been helpful to know that mine has 72K miles. I had 3y/36K warranty. Haven't contacted Jeep yet. Does anyone know for sure if they will work with you on this problem?

Just had installed the borla header due to cracking exhaust manifold on mine 97 tj. Love it so far. also have there cat-back system on too. Only problem accured was after they were done the check engine light came on and have some error codes. The light is out after a 30 min drive, but have to take it back to get the codes clear off. Hopefully they stay off.

I purchased the manifold you suggested from 1-A Auto and had it put on yesterday. Runs like a champ now!
