Default what kinda warranty does an 08 JK have?

I have an exhaust leak on mine and wondering if there is some kind of emissions warranty that would cover it.

I am already over on miles, i was just thinking maybe the emissions had a longer warranty. I have had a few other cars that had exhaust leak around the header and had the dealer repair it under emissions warranty which was like up to 100k miles.

5.1 Federal Emission Warranty
A. Parts Covered for 2 Years or 24,000 Miles
Federal law requires Chrysler Motors LLC
("Chrysler") to warrant the following emissions
parts for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs
first. Chrysler covers all of these parts under the
Basic Limited Warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.
• Air system controls;
• distributor and its components;
• electronic fuel injection system, including
injector;
• evaporative-emission canister and controls;
• exhaust manifold;
• exhaust gas recirculation valve and control
system;
• exhaust pipes (between exhaust manifold and
catalyst);
• fuel cap and tank assembly, pump, and fuel
lines;
• ignition coil and ignition module;
• intake manifold;
• on-board diagnostic-system components;
• oxygen sensors;
• positive crankcase-ventilation (PCV) valve or
orifice;
• secondary ignition wires;
• spark plugs;
• throttle body;
• transmission-control module;
• vacuum hoses, clamps, and fittings, as well as
tubing used for these components;
• vacuum, temperature, altitude, speed, timesensitive
valves, sensors, and switches used in
these components and systems.

B. Parts Covered for 8 years or 80,000 miles
If your vehicle has one of the following parts, this
Federal Emission Warranty covers that part for a
period of 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
These limits are counted from the time when your
Basic Limited Warranty begins under 2.1(E). The
covered parts are:
• catalytic converter; and
• powertrain control module.

Our 08 had a cracked weld on the exhaust manifold at around 42k and they covered it due to emissions being 8/80 on warranty.
It was a nice surprise!
