You're definitely not alone with that. Every time we repair exhaust bolts on the HEMI engines we always replace the manifold with a freshly machined manifold. We always have a couple in stock so we're never having to wait to get one machined to give a customer back their truck.

Shouldn't be much to get it machined. We pay about 50 bucks for the machine shop to do ours, and that's in Canadian pesos.

I would also look into srt mani's I've seen them sell for pretty cheap, they flow a hell of a lot better and will buy you time to save for some LT's

If you need manifolds I have a set. You have a crack? I can't imagine a manifold being warped enough to cause a leak. If it's just a leak you should just get a good set of gaskets and reinstall them.

Its warped no crack, the #6 cyl is the issue but the leaks were from 2&8. Should beable to level the surface and call it good till FLH insrall

Well I hope you take my advice and save up for the ARH's. I have JBA's and they work fine, but if I knew then what I know now, I would have never bought them, or at least sent them back and gotten the ARH's. The fitment on the JBA's (mainly the Y pipe) sucks. The ball socket design of the ARH's is worth every penny IMO.

From what I've heard , the jeep mani's. I think I've seen them for around sixty bucks , used for a set. After a quick search I found these. You can probably find them even cheaper.

Ill talk to the parts guy and see what he says and if they have a set to compare to. Trying to not do major exhaust work till i get the full lengths

If you have any issues acquiring manis hit me up. Mine are just collecting dust.

Edit: I'm not looking for $, just pay back shipping. I like to help, especially when it costs me nothing to help out a fellow wrencher.

Well, didnt have time to deal with a machine shop so i went to the dealer, they changed the manifold design, not sure what it will benefit but the added a bolt hole on the #7&8 cyl but there is no corresponding hole on the head so ????
The other thing i found weird was the bolt hole size on the manifold and gasket, only 1 matches the tiny bolt use.

All in all and now waiting for the battery to recharge to see if i still have any leaks.
But it will still have to come off again to fix the broken on in the head that i didnt notice due to the threads on the bolt... have to do that one at the shop when i have more time. Hopefully the 2 bolts on that cyl hold it from leaking till then...
