I have a '99 Jeep TJ with 72,000 on it. I forded the creek on Imogene Trail
outside of Ouray, CO Thursday and the factory headers cracked. Should I try
JB Weld or ???. Any idea on the least expensive repair?
Thanks!

 

Factory headers? Or is this a factory exhaust manifold? Summitracing sells
new headers for $330, so if you truly have headers I would say it is worth
the effort to remove them, and have them welded (no JB weld). If you have a
basic exhaust manifold I say don't even bother with the weld unless it is
very cheap, and can be welded on the vehicle, just get a new manifold off a
junk yard car.

Yes, factory headers. It is a TJ. E-Bay has some for not a whole lot of
money, but I'd try welding them first. I stick welded the cracked header
that came as a factory feature in my YJ. It's lasted an additional 100k
miles and is still holding.
