97XJ with 330K miles.
Back when the Jeep was a young 208K miles, the factory exhaust manifold cracked and needed replacement. Of course I UPGRADED to a header. The stainless steel header was warranted for life so I figured I was done with ever having to replace again. Now at 330K the Stainless Steel header is cracked and needs to be sent back for replacement under warranty. I get stuck for 350.00 worth of labor. As this header lasted only a little more than half the life of the factory junky manifold, I wonder if this is normal life-span of a stainless steel header.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
