exhaust manifold

Does anyone know if the XJ6 exhaust manifolds are the same as the XJR-6? I'm not sure if the exhaust manifold openings are larger due to the supercharged engine? I found a pair for sale locally. My car was suffering a power-loss and It just couldn't idle properly and I smelled fumes coming from underneath the vehicle when I jacked her up and my conclusion was the exhaust manifolds when i removed the heat shield. (both cracked)

Ask the seller to give you the part numbers that are stamped on the manifolds.
For the rear you need NBC2903AA which I believe superseded to NBC2903AD
If the part is NBC2903CB it will not work as it can't accept the EGR pipe. (I think XJR's did not have EGR, at least early in the production run)

You can try using "Inferno" you can find it at Autozone. Inferno helps seal cracks like the ones in the manifolds.. It might not be a permanent fix but it will do the job temporally.

Jaguar classics owners are luckier as there are specialist shops in the UK that manufacture exhaust manifolds for their marques. Here is a link.

X300 may be too small a market to motivate business for aftermarket products, or we may have to wait till ours attain classic status.... The new breed of Jaguar is a whole lot different so some day later people might rediscover the beauty of the VDPs and start rebuilding and re-manufacturing parts to keep them on the road.
