So i hope its ok to post this in this forum, i would like some local opinions.
My 90 xj i6 4.0 5spd, has some exhaust manifold leaks (big shocker) my question is if anyone has an opinion what aftermarket replacement is the best to replace it with? Not considering price,quality and ease of install more important.

Thnx Sean

I was going to put a borla on my xj but decided I didnt want to spend the money for little gains in a rpm range I dont see to often. I got a updated manifold from Avanteone when my jeep was in his shop getting a new engine. The biggest plus is it costs 1/4 what the borla would have costed.

The updated aftermarket manifolds cure the problems /w the OE unit like inferior materials, cracks from expansion, etc. The power gains are so minimal using a Borla, etc. that I don't feel they're worth the money.
