wheelsaz08 Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 looking for some suggestions. to me it looks like someone has tried to fix it before and their welds failed, but i could be wrong. so the question is, should i grind it out and try fixing it, again? or if it is an apn, and the welds are original, should i try and get it warrantied? i didnt buy the header, it was on the stroker when i got it here's some pics and thanks in advance I'm going to guess this caused all the cracks...

HOrnbrod Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Any warranty it might have had is null and void if the header has been wrapped. The best way to repair that header IMO is to get it brazed.
schardein Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 This type of manifold is available from many sources, and they don't crack. At least, the ones I have on my XJ and MJ haven't, and both came off junkyard XJs.
johnj92131 Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Just replace the manifold with a cheap one from Rock Auto, Ebay, etc. Then get a flex pipe connection and us it at the downpipe. That will solve the cracking issue.
wheelsaz08 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Posted April 11, 2017 i went ahead and repaired the cracks. ive got parts to build a new 2.5" exhaust including a flex pipe
