Exhaust Manifold Recommendation
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. Dave On Mon, 4 Apr 2005 22:02:17 -0500, "Jerry Slaughter" > wrote: >Hey folks, > >I need to replace the exhaust manifold on my 99 TJ.

Hi Jerry,
You do not say what kind of condition your exhaust manifold is in. My 97 TJ is only now starting to hiss and I am looking at a POR Fire Sealant 2000 produtct http://www.por15.com/product.asp?productid=7 I just recieved the catalog in the mail and wa looking at the rust paint that I have read good things about but I have not heard anything about this 'exhaust patch'. In any event, it's down & dirty (read that as chaep) only $15, but I like Bill's $135 product also - depends on your cash flow and the condition of your manifold. Good Luck, Steve Hey, has anyone heard anything about this Fire Sealant 2000? It's suppose to handle 2000 degees - huppe or a good product? |

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! |

Jerry Slaughter did pass the time by typing:

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. -- DougW |

Sounds like you may have the new record:

Only hint I can give you is to get a swivel socket or whatever it's called. The angles to the studs can be kind of tough. All of mine came out with no breakage. Dave |
