    Hi from Paris in France
    I have got a CJ5 V6 225 and the complete exhaust is not standart.
    I am not sure of the year, but it's maybe 1965;
    I tink than I cannot get 225 parts in France.
    Does someone coult be nice to send me a view of the exaust from the manifolds to the tail.
    I need also to find a dealer in usa? a specialist of the 225 V6.
    Tank you for your help
    Bruno

    friend, looks like you have a nice set of headers there! It's a popular upgrade from the original exhaust manifold. Why are you interested in replacing them with original manifolds? Just curious. :beer:

    I want to change the exhaust because it is very noisy,I think there is no muffler inside.

    Regarding the motor it would be nice if somebody scann the manual and send me by mail.
    Thanks
    Bruno

    Bruno, you could keep the headers and replace the "muffler" to a more quiet version... that's what I run.

    I use "Header Buddys"
    http://www.headerbuddy.com/headerbuddy.html
    to connect between the header collector and the muffler.
    I use small cheap mufflers from our local auto parts stores, Pep Boys and places like that. Last brand I used were Thrush Turbo mufflers:
    http://www.dynomax.com/thrush.stm

    Behind this muffler I add a 90-degree turn out, it exits just in front of the rear wheel. This muffler is reasonably quiet compared to the old "glasspacks" you appear to have... and is a fairly inexpensive, easily installed/repaired set up. :)

    I used to have headers like you do.. I did not like them, and went with cast iron manifolds. The headers would crack, heat up the floor boards, noisy, etc.. I got cast iron manifolds off a newer rear wheel drive buick v6 car.. but that would not work for you since you still have the stock manual steering setup. So, you need the correct factory manifolds for you Jeep. Ebay or someone on this board would be your best bet finding a set I would think.

    Oh, and you will also gain some low end torque once you swap back to cast iron manifold - and that is nice :)
