Hello,

I´m facing to a problem with a cracked exhaust manifold on my 2000 Land Cruiser V8. My car was made for Europe, so if it helps, there is VIN JTEHT05J202001131

I can purchase parts 17105-50121 and 17104-50121 to replace my cracked exhaust manifold. Actually, there is only right side cracked, is it worth to change both?

Is there any other option, like a headers I can use? Also, what is the best way to make my LC sound better, a new muffler? Any tips? Thank you in advance, have a good one

Exhaust manifolds cracking are a very common issue on the 2000's. There is one company that "made" headers for the 100's. Doug Thorley in California. They made a run of 20, I am not sure if you can still have them ordered or made. But google them and give them a call.

I would do the side that has cracked. It's out of warranty, so replacing something that is not broken seems wasteful to me.
