Re: cracked exhaust manifold.
I had the exact same problem a little less than a year ago. Got one just
like the one in your link and installed it with a mechanic friends help in
about 2 hours. Has been working perfectly so far.

Meineke told me the front pipe in my 87 YJ (Between the manifold and cat)
was an $800 part.
Buyer Beware!!!

Re: cracked exhaust manifold.
This is wacked, I don't have a mechanic friend so I can't do anything
but drive it ghetto style I guess. Meineke guy said it'll be loud and
I'll smell fuel/fume once in awhile but the car is drivable. He offered
to order the parts right there and then for me and have it by Monday
(this was last sat). I offered to pay him monopoly money which he
respectfully declined. :)

Re: cracked exhaust manifold.
My son has been driving his 91 XJ and complaining about a loud knock at
idle. Since I was tired of his dripping all over my new driveway, I had
him drop the pan and check the bottom end - which forced him to replace
the leaking pan gasket. Engine was good so I had him expand on the
symthoms: quiet when cold, rattle goes away at higher RPMs, get really bad
at exactly 900 RPM but is better above and below. Hmmm... how's the
exhaust? Turns out he has a crack right at the Y in the exhaust manifold.
Of course he won't believe me when I tell him that's his knock.
Point of this is that he needed convincing so I told him to go get some
muffler tape just to demonstrate. He found a tube of stuff advertised to
fix manifold leaks (never heard of that - stuff says it's good to 1500
degrees). He put a glob of that on the crack and it cured the knock.
That was a month ago and it has held so far. I didn't expect it to hold
more than the few minutes needed to convince him he needed a manifold but
it's still going. Cheap quick fix. I'm waiting for it to fail but he
still has most of the tube left so I expect he will just keep adding goop
until he runs out - then come running. At least he won't be dripping oil
all over that new concrete by then...
