In this video I will show you how to replace an exhaust manifold on your 4.0L engine Jeep. This process is similar on other Jeep models such as the Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, and Comanche. But today I will show you how to do it on a 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ. Today I will show you how to do the whole job from start to finish. If you have any other questions that the video doesn’t cover make sure to comment below and I would be happy to answer.

Excellent video
Is this a cat delete? My 04 has 2 cats under the header.
Sounds good
Great video. One comment/suggestion, when I take things apart that involves nuts, bolts & screws, after removing the piece that is being held in place by the nut, bolt or screw, I put that nut, bolt or screw BACK in the same place that it was taken from. This prevents missing hardware and I’ve also found that nuts, bolts and screws go back into the same place they came from much easier (most times).
Nice instructional video. I just got the same manifold and it is a nice part. Checking where it mounts on the engine with a straight edge there was no gaps. However I put like a pipe cleaner through one of the pipes (cylinder #3) going into the main pipe and it would catch on the inside where the weld is. I’m going to get a small inspection mirror and see if there is a small area where the air flow could have a small restriction then I’m going to get a flexible shaft for a dermal tool and smooth that area out.
I just got my first Jeep and your channel is hugely important. I appreciate all the camera angles and pro teaching tips! Cheers
Nice and color is awesome
Someone should make a custom head with the exhaust ports on one side in the intake ports on the other.
How long does a job like this take? Looks actually pretty simple except for the 4 intake bolts
Good video….great job explaining everything..!! I need to do the same thing to my rig and the insight is valuable..! Glad I found your channel..!!
thanks for the video. i just did this weekend. mines a 94. i dont know if anybody will answer but the clips on the plugs of the fuel injectors broke off. is that going to be a problem? should i zip tie them in place or just call it good? they feel fairly secure.
Put an engine in my 2000, and what made putting the manifolds on a little less painful was putting the lower bolts in first. I took some white Teflon tape and secured the washer to the head of the bolt. Then threaded the bolt in just enough so it had a good bite. Then I was able to hang the intake manifold on it perfectly, and the washer didn’t slide up and get in the way.. Saved a ton of time..
This channel helped me alot, all of the things i do to my jeep was based on your DIY. today i'm doing this and bought same exhaust manifold. i already took everything out just waiting for the new exhaust manifold to come. QUESTION : if i ever want to upgrade to High Output intake manifold, do i need anything? is the connection and hose connection for vacuum lines same?
Great video I will watch again and take my notes then get it done. I am disabled so it will take me a little more time. Thanks for the video.
Very informative, but you missed an opportunity for a very simple, and inexpensive upgrade to your fuel system.
Dodge Neon fuel injectors. They have 4 holes instead if the 1 hole in your OEM units. They are identical injectors, so plug and play. It just takes a couple shorts trips to the store for your ECU to learn how to run properly. Better fuel economy and a bit more power.
my head cracked on my 2001 shitbox and i am in the middle of doing this, those intake manifold bolts are the worst thing I have ever worked on in my life
