2.5 exhaust manifold options

[TJ4Jim]

Heres the last ebay ss manifold the lasted maybe 3 years before ball stub end snapped off clean. Since all the aftermarket CI manifolds are actually worse than the ebay ones I was finally able to source a real used oem without cracks. Hopefully this will be the end.

More crap quality parts, huh?

Well thanks for letting us know, I'm sure this will save someone the hassle.

Like most of those cheap SS manifolds / headers on eBay, the welds seem to be crap.

Why not use that as an opportunity to replace the ball joint with a v-band? If that's the only issue that's what I'd be doing.

Do you have a flex pipe somewhere in there? I added one forward of my oil pan.
