95 xjs cracked exhaust manifolds
Hi all,
I was in the process last night of removing my front cat. down pipe for replacement and noticed that both exhaust manifolds are cracked. I'm guessing these are cast iron? That being the case, I've been told there is no way to weld the cracks. True? I've seen at auto supply stores different hi temp putty's etc for the exhaust system. Does anyone have experience with these or suggestions on how I may fix this before I start looking for a used pair? Lastly, would I be able to use manifolds from a '90 xjs be compatible?
