Going to replace my Daughters exhaust manifolds with ones like these... I don't want OEM cast iron ones. I hope these will work. They come with all the bolts and gaskets too.

What are they made of? I had steel ones like that on my JK when I bought it and they had holes rusted out where the 3 tubes were welded on the right one.
 
I want stainless steel ones. I haven't ordered them yet. Still shopping. I just know that I don't want cast iron.
 
I'm also hoping the nasty rusted bolts come out easily. If they do, it will be a fun job.
I've had a replacement exhaust manifold sitting on my bench for a year. Simply do to the fear of snapping off those horrible factory bolts. I still to this day can't believe manufactures don't use plated hardware in the engine block.

Good luck.

I've seen pictures of the Factory ones that have cracked.

I put Long tube headers on mine to replace a cheap set of steel headers that a PO put on my JK.
