Dorman OE Solutions 674-196 Exhaust Manifold Review

A few months after I bought my '91 Cherokee 4.0L it developed a crack in the OEM exhaust manifold which caused a very small exhaust leak. Barely noticeable, but I took the opportunity to 'upgrade' to an aftermarket header. I'm the type of person that likes to turn an auto repair into an opportunity to make something better than stock whenever possible, so it seemed like the obvious way to go. The header I bought was a no-name brand, but seemed well made from stainless steel and plenty of people on various Jeep forums seemed to run them without issue.

To make a long story short, although it looked cool and made the exhaust note a bit deeper, the fancy tubular header was a PITA to install, and in six months it cracked worse than the OEM manifold it had replaced! It cracked in more than one place, in fact; and I was driving around with the Cherokee sounding like an old tractor, getting horrible MPG and losing all my passing power from having a massive exhaust leak upstream of the O2 sensor. Not wanting to take a chance on another generic aftermarket part, I ordered this up manifold, knowing that Dorman makes OEM quality products. Don't quote me on this, but I believe that this manifold is actually based on a later OEM design, where the expansion joints were added to help prevent the cracking that has been an issue with the 4.0L exhaust manifolds for many years.

When the Dorman arrived it was clearly well made, and though I was dreading doing this job for the second time, it installed without any unpleasant surprises or headaches. No primary tubes blocking access to bolts like the header I had tried previously, hooray! Honestly, it fits so well that it almost makes installation enjoyable... almost. Although the Dorman fits like a glove, it's really not a job you'd want to do twice.

This manifold has been on my Jeep for several months and 12,000+ miles now, and I have not had any problems with it whatsoever. I'd pretty much forgotten all about it in fact, because it does the simple job an exhaust manifold is meant to do: carry exhaust gasses from the cylinder head to the exhaust system without any leaks! Obviously, I'm extremely pleased with this product. Although my own Cherokee should be set for life with this manifold, if I ever acquire another 4.0L powered Jeep with a cracked exhaust manifold, replacing it with a Dorman will be a no-brainer. I can't recommend this manifold enough.
