Exhaust work is not cheap for sure but it's one of the best mods ever. If you are not planning on re-doing the entire system just go with the factory manifolds and scrap the heat shields.

That's prob what I'll do. I lost a chuck of heat shield years ago in Spokane wheeling with Casey.T. Thanks Tungsten

No problems. If you are going to stick with factory manifolds, check them for cracking and warping unless you are buying new ones.

How did they handle the snow and ice?

So far they're better tan the Pathfinder All Terrains I had. Of course the snow all melted as soon as I got them.
