Exhaust Manifold Recommendation

Jerry Slaughter 5 April 2005 07:02:17
 Hey folks,

I need to replace the exhaust manifold on my 99 TJ. What is the best
recommendation from those that have been there/done that? Looking on ebay
and searching the web I see a wide range of units available.

Thanks!

Jerry S.

 I bit the bullet and replaced it with a header on my '99. Good excuse
for an upgrade, and I got a good deal on a Thorley.

While I have not visually verified the extent of damage to my manifold, but
I have all of the classic symptoms. The exhaust noise is loud from the
front, I get a "popping" backfire upon deceleration (more when the engine is
warm) and a strong smell of exhaust coming from the front of the jeep,
especially when the windows are down. It has been a progressive issue for
the last few months, but I have been holding off until the warmer weather
set in so I could do the job more comfortably.

I'm a little worried about the condition of the exhaust studs. They have a
significant layer of rust on them and I am concerned about them breaking
when I remove the manifold. I may go ahead and buy a set of replacements and
an ez-out to have on hand when I do the job. I will also soak them overnight
with penetrating oil before I start.

Any other hints?

Thanks!

I was woried about my ZJ but the bolts all came out with a crecent wrench.
(pb blaster overnight probably didn't hurt)
Any other hints?

If you do get one that siezes try more PB blaster on the threads and
tap the end lightly with a hammer/drift to break the crud loose.

Remember, clean both the head and manifold. Don't leave any carbon traces
on the head (a scotch brite pad works good) Bits of sock/papertowel will
help keep crud from falling down the exhaust port. ALthough for the most
part that's only going to be carbon flakes from the exhaust port.

 I don't like wobble extensions, and the ones with sockets, they
give me the feeling I about to loose some skin:

 LOL! I know, but if you push on them so the socket stays seated they
hold fine. I get a bit paranoid about losing knuckles too....

 After replacing my CPS I too thought I had a cracked exhaust, then I noticed
a hairline crack in the hard vacuum line that connects from the firewall to
the carb, a little heat shrink and she's running better than ever. Just in
case you might want to check.
