Borla Headers for 98 TJ - Need advice

It's a 1998 4.0L Automatic ...

Although I'm enjoying my Jeep sounding like a ski-doo, I think it's time to fix the problem.

IIRC, the auto will need some sort of linkage adjustment.

I dunno if 'I' would trust those other sites, but others may disagree with me. You may want to check out

Thanks Bill, I have followed this link before from your 'links' page, however I'm leary on it for a few reasons:

1. I've seen that picture tacked onto multiple manifolds across the internet, and on ebay with varying prices. I'm guessing there are knockoffs of it.
2. I've heard from my local 4wd store that those manifolds are prone to having the expansion areas blown. Of course this is the same shop that offered to fix my old manifold.
3. I need to get it shipped to Canada, and that website apparently doesn't want to do that. Also if I find a website that does ship to Canada I can't be guaranteed that it's the same one since there is no manufacturer or standard part # associated with it.

Not to worry, "it was designed in the U.S. and the tooling is owned by a large U.S. manufacturer." That is some of the ugliest "stainless steel" that I have ever seen. They make a number of statements that are apparently supposed to imply better welds like "high temperature color patterns near welds" and "wide surface weld patterns used in joint areas for supurb strength" (note the innovative spelling). Maybe someone with more welding experience than I have would want to comment on the "strength through ugliness" principle that seems to be at work here.

I don't see a problem with repairing your existing manifold and saving a STACK of money!

I purchased a manifold from them two years ago for my '98 TJ, and it is cracked already. I think I will go with one of the headers (borla or banks probably) this time as well so I am not redoing this again in two years.
