Exhaust manifold measurements

Does anyone have an exhaust manifold sitting around for a '99+ XJ?

Would you please take some measurements for me?

I am thinking about wrapping mine in THIS PRODUCT, and wanted to find out how much I'll need first.

I need the following:
1) Diameter of smaller pipes (RED).
2) Diameter of larger pipes (BLUE).
3) Total length of all smaller (RED) pipes put together.
4) Total length of all larger pipes (BLUE) put together.

Thanks in advance
 
Sorry, don't have a manifold laying around, but here's some advice. When you wrap the manifold, buy 16-18ga stainless steel wire(hardware store: by the roll, cheap.)to tie the ends off. Don't bother with the clamps they sell with that stuff(they are crap)
Paint the manifold with good hi-temp paint(thick coat) to keep rust in check.
Wet out the header wrap in water and apply it wet. 'Tight as you can get it. Wire tie all the ends of the cloth down. If you get creative, you can get it so all the twisted ends are hidden.
After it's dry, paint the wrap(again, heavy coats)
If you have the ability, cook the paint on after both applications according to the instructions on the can. It does make a difference.
 
They suggest High Temp silicone coating rather than paint. SEE HERE
Do you think that would work?
They also sell stainless lock ties - rather than hose clamps.

Anyone have measurements on the mainifold?
I'm trying to get them without having to crawl under the heep.

Thanks.
