Does anyone run or have you run in the past, a header on your 4 cylinder? I have a YJ with the infamous cracked exhaust manifold and I am debating between welding the crack to save some cash or just replacing the whole damned thing with one of those nice stainless Banks headers. Either way it has to come off. Any input?

the 4 cyl manifolds dont crack like the 6 cyl.. the stud at the back of the block breaks. You have to drill it out and put a new one in...

The manifold is cracked without a doubt. I can see and of course hear it hissing loudly, and I can smell it stinking up the cab when I drive.
I have had a few welded but sometimes its tuff because the crack is down by the collecter and its hard to get all they way in there to weld... I dont know about the banks but I have had a few borlas put on & they have cracked within a year...what ever thats worth

I've been happy with my Banks, but that's on the I6.

Nah, a little massage work is always expected getting things to fit the ZJ. So far the Banks is crack free.
